Welcome to the home page of the North Country Trail Association
The North Country National Scenic Trail is a premier footpath that stretches for about 4,600 miles linking communities, forests, and prairies across seven northern states. Already, more than 1,800 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.
We're the nationwide nonprofit organization that works in partnership with the National Park Service to build, maintain, and promote the North Country National Scenic Trail.
Above, you'll find index tabs to guide you around our site. We hope you enjoy your visit, and that you'll take the time to explore to see all our site has to offer. This is a dynamic site: return again soon to see what's new!
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.
