Come to the North Country. Trek the hills and valleys. Stand on the shores of lakes & streams from glaciers 10,000 years before. Clear-flowing water, red/gold of autumn, a fairyland of snow, open prairies, and distant horizons paint the land. Historic sites along the way tell how America settled and grew as a nation. From North Dakota to Vermont, adventure is never far away.
The North Country National Scenic Trail provides visitors an opportunity to enjoy many rewarding outdoor hiking experiences.
The trail continues to grow through the efforts and cooperation of many partner organizations and agencies.
Built and maintained primarily by volunteers, you can help by becoming part of the North Country Trail community.
TRAIL SAFE! is a unique safety training program designed specifically for NPS trail volunteers, but is useful to everyone.
