The Appalachian Trail

Maine’s Appalachian Trail is one of the most rugged and rewarding stretches of the entire 2,200-mile route. It winds through some of our favorite places in the state, including the Mahoosuc Range, Bigelow Preserve, 100 Mile Wilderness, and Baxter State Park. You don’t have to be a thru-hiker to enjoy it, either. Explore our firsthand hiking guides for trail details, photos, practical tips, and local insight to help you experience some of the best sections of the Appalachian Trail in Maine.
