Explore The Trails

The hiking trails of the northeastern region of Vermont are often challenging, beautiful and remote, offering views of dramatic landscapes, beautiful lakes, and abundant wildlife habitat.

In addition to ADA, hiking, snowshoeing, and nordic skiing trails on our East Charleston property, we work alongside partners and use our more than three decades of trail building experience to help build, maintain and improve trails around the region.

Their mission to connect people and place through science, education and action is achieved through the synergy of the conservation corps, environmental education, conservation science and forest stewardship programs. The NEK Mountain Trail Guide comes out of three decades of experience hiking, mapping, maintaining and managing trails, working alongside many partners. This comprehensive guidebook offers detailed trail descriptions, accurate maps and colorful photos. With this unique account of the Northeast Kingdom’s natural and cultural history, NorthWoods has created a truly valuable resource for hikers, educators and outdoor enthusiasts.
