Consider Weather Updates
Hi–Spent 2 nights/3 days experiencing great snow at Stratton Brook and Poplar. The crew was great at SB; especially the food. Amazing views and great ski down Newton’s Revenge. Poplar crew was great as well–you know the situation with the showers–the Poplar team helped me find one that at least delivered lukewarm water. My one […]
ski trip
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Huts. We were met by staff and volunteers at both huts and treated well. We were warm and the food was spectacular. The trails offered a nice variety of hills and turns, no long distances of tedious flat. I loved that the snowmobile used a different trail. I […]
Fun Winter Getaway
My husband and I stayed one night at Flagstaff and one at Poplar Spring, and on both nights we were treated with great hospitality by the staff who were friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. We had plans to ski from airport to flagstaff on our first day, but the signage was unclear and led us on […]
Great hike in the snow
We scheduled the trip hoping to cross country ski. Due to lack of snow, the trails were too icy to ski so we hiked from the Flagstaff Lake Hut to the Grand Falls Hut and back. The scenery was beautiful. The food and lodging were great. Nice job MHT. The only observation is I think […]
Great fatbiking
Conditions for skiing were not good. But this made for great fat biking – white asphalt as it’s sometimes called. Flagstaff Lake was solid, clear, and smooth, also a hoot to ride. I’d been interested in getting to Grand Falls for several years. What a nice trip and as usual huts and staff were first-class.
Kudos to Maine Huts & Trails
What a vision launched Maine Huts & Trails. And what expert management made the experience of going there so special. The trails were wonderfully groomed and tracked, and the crews at the huts (Poplar and Stratton Brook) were outstanding in their helpfulness, the amenities they offered, and the meals they served. Adding to our pleasure […]
Awesome!
We had a great time. The hut crew was fun and friendly, the meals were hearty and delicious, the bunk rooms were in good shape and comfy, and the setting was beautiful. The temps were below zero while we were there, so hanging out in the lodge after hiking felt great. But, the reason I’m […]
Snowshoe Stratton to Poplar
We were a party of 3 middle-aged ladies on snowshoes for the weekend and had a terrific experience. Our first night at Stratton hut our room was cold but the showers were hot. Our second night at Poplar the room was much warmer but the showers were lukewarm at best and not what we needed […]
A 5-Star View
I had a mid-week stay at Stratton Brook Hut. It takes some huffing and puffing to get up to this hut but when you do, the view is one of the best in the whole State of Maine. The staff were great – friendly, helpful and cooked delicious meals!
Fat Bike Fun
Great little trip into Flagstaff Hut. Great food, great company, great staff. Wonderfully cold outside and wonderfully warm within. Thank you.
Great place for a group event!
Teaming up with Maine Huts & Trails and the Maine Winter Sports Center, Teens To Trails (T3) brought a group of 30 students and advisors from 7 different high school outing clubs from across the state to experience the MHTs. The hut staff was helpful, friendly and accommodating. The weather was brisk but sunny and […]
Dad and son ski trip
We skied around 40 miles over three days on beautiful, well-maintained trails through the Maine woods, with occasional views out over the mountains and valleys. Accommodation and meals at the Flagstaff and Poplar huts were excellent – comfortable rooms, plenty of great food and a friendly atmosphere. It was great to chat with staff and […]
