Dave Kerwin Trail Boardwalk
Town of Newmarket
The Dave Kerwin Trail Boardwalk is a remarkable 1,020-foot (310-meter) long, 10-foot (3-meter) wide elevated structure, soaring up to 16 feet (4 meters) above the ground. Designed by Fiberwalk, the boardwalk carefully ascends an extreme 50% existing slope at a new 5% maximum grade, ensuring accessibility while preserving the natural environment by avoiding major trees and crossing a stream. To achieve the unique shape of this structure, a total of 18 different panel types were custom designed for the project, allowing for seamless turns along the route. This innovative design provides stunning elevated views of the surrounding forest and floodplain, establishing the boardwalk as a new destination within the Town of Newmarket. The structure is designed as a multi-use path, serving both pedestrians and cyclists, and includes tall 4’6″ (1.37-meter) railings supported entirely by custom connections built into the Fiberwalk panels. Opened in June 2025, the boardwalk offers both functionality and a unique nature experience for visitors.
