The North Country National Scenic Trail is the longest in the National Trails System, stretching 4,800 miles across eight states from North Dakota to Vermont, traversing forests and farmlands, remote terrain and bustling communities. Whether you’re looking to wander, hike, or run, birdwatch, camp, or backpack, the North Country Trail offers you a multitude of landscapes and opportunities.
Explore the TrailThe trail exists because of robust, impressive, and dedicated generosity and partnership. Thousands of volunteers pour thousands of hours into the trail each year, often during local-level, Chapter-led workdays. You're invited to join them.
Get InvolvedThe North Country Trail is here and available because of the thoughtfulness of many dedicated supporters.
