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!

Sugarloaf Mountain Hike
July 27 from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Free
Been awhile since we had this one! The next MATLT Community Hike will be on Saturday, July 27th up Sugarloaf Mountain! This 5.3 mile round trip hike will take you to the top of Maine’s second highest free standing mountain, the one with the big ski area on the slopes. Mere words cannot describe to you how steep this hike is – it’s only 2.65 mile up but it is very, very steep. It is strenuous to the max.
More info can be found here, including on the meet up spot. The hike will start at 10am and you must RSVP below to attend!
