What does accessibility mean to you?
To us, it means making backcountry experiences something for everyone to enjoy.
Explore over 80 miles of free, year-round, multi-use trails in the Northwestern Maine mountains.
Lighten your load by staying at one of our off-grid eco lodges.
Warm your body and lift your spirit with a hot meal shared with friends, family, and community.
Thanks to generous land owners and donors, Maine Huts & Trails is proud to support public access to remote and special places to all for generations to come.
Your winter stay helps support our mission of making the Maine backcountry accessible to school and community groups that may not otherwise be able to come.
The Huts
Trails
Maintained by a dedicated crew, the trail system at Maine Huts & Trails is unforgettable. Featuring winding switchbacks, sandy paths along mountain streams, natural bridges, and incredible views, the trails leading to the huts are some of the best in the world. When using the trail system, you’ll be following white and blue diamonds; white for the main trail which is groomed for skiing in the winter, and blue for ungroomed side trails.
