The North Country National Scenic Trail is a premier footpath that stretches
over 4,000 miles linking communities, forests, and prairies across seven
northern states. Already, more than 1,700 miles have been certified off-road.
Additional miles follow shared paths, and some road walks yet remain. The
map above shows the trail in its entirety. When completed it will be the
longest off-road hiking trail in the United States.
The mission of the North Country Trail Association is to develop, maintain,
preserve and promote the North Country National Scenic Trail through a national
network of volunteers, chapters, partner organizations and government agencies.
The Association achieves its mission by creating, encouraging and supporting
programs of public education, membership services, recreational opportunities
and resource and corridor protection in keeping with its Vision for the
Trail. National Headquarters is located in Lowell, Michigan, near the geographic
center of the Trail. The office is at 229 E. Main Street, just one block
from the Trail as it follows the Flat River. |
