About the Community Hikes Program
The Maine A.T. Land Trust’s Community Hikes program provides free guided hiking trips to the general public from May to October and then from January to March. There are typically two to three hikes per month (depending on weather) and trips are guided by trained trip leaders. The program has been enormously successful at bringing individuals to the A.T. landscape but they can fill up quickly! The limit for participants is usually 5-8 individuals. If a hike you would like to attend is currently filled up, please email us at info@matlt.org to get on the waiting list. Summer hikes will be listed in May, winter hikes will be listed in December, so check back if you don’t see any!
Fall 2024 Update
We typically have 3-4 hikes in the fall season but due to some trip leader travel and downtime, we will probably be offering fewer this fall. But please continue to check back and sign up for the MATLT newsletter to make sure you know when new hikes are posted!
This newly-added hike will be up Sugarloaf Mountain on July 30th! The hike is rated as strenuous (the highest on the scale) and it should not be underestimated how steep the climb is up the Appalachian Trail to the junction with the side trail up Sugarloaf.

You must RSVP for this hike below or by emailing us at info@matlt.org or by calling 207-808-2073. There is no rain date for this hike!
