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!

The Maine Appalachian Trail Land Trust’s latest community hike will be on Saturday, July 27th, starting at 9am! This is a challenging, 9.1-mile hike (total distance) that traverses varied terrain via the Fire Warden Trail. This trail meanders through woods before climbing steeply and emerging on a rocky slope above treeline. It is a great hike on one of Maine’s most spectacular and important mountains. And it’s free to come along!
More information about the trail can be found here: Maine Trail Finder
