The outdoor activity options in Maine are plentiful. From cross-country skiing to challenge terrain hikes, the trails available here are perfect for people of all ability levels and all interests. One of our favorite ways to enjoy the outdoors in Maine is through the unique Maine Huts & Trails system.
But, best of all, they offer year-round access to 180-miles of multi-use trails.

The trail’s primary area runs along the Carrabassett, Kennebec and Dead Rivers. It was created with the aim of promoting "people powered" activities for the public to take part in during any part of the year.

These "huts" are actually four off-the-grid eco lodges located along 80-miles of the trail system. Ultimately, there will be a total of 12 year-round huts built along the trail, each located a a day’s trip apart from another.
They all have hot showers, toilets, heated bunkrooms and rooms for drying your gear. The four huts all have names: The Stratton Brook Hut, The Flagstaff Hut, The Grand Falls Hut and The Poplar Hut.
Meals are served at three times a day and are created using locally sourced and organic ingredients whenever possible. Dinner, breakfast and a bagged trail lunch are included with overnight stays. Day guest can purchase lunch during the full-service season on weekends and during school vacation weeks.
In addition to providing access to those looking for an individual trip, group guided trips are available as well. We love that they're open all year-long as well!
