Join North Country Trail Association members for an afternoon of hiking. Meet at the Visitor Center and carpool to the beginning trailheads. You’ll have the option of a three or five-mile hike.

Established in 1994 and held annually on the fourth Saturday in September, National Public Lands Day is traditionally the nation’s largest single-day volunteer effort. It celebrates the connection between people and green space in their community, inspires environmental stewardship, and encourages use of open space for education, recreation, and health benefits.
