Mission

MISSION
The mission of North Country Trail Association is to develop, maintain, protect and promote the North Country National Scenic Trail as the premier hiking path across the northern tier of the United States through a trail-wide coalition of volunteers and partners.

What We Do

NCTA is a non-profit, member organization devoted to the construction, maintenance, promotion and protection of the North Country National Scenic Trail (NCNST). The North Country Trail is the longest (4600 miles) of the 11 Congressionally designated national scenic trails. NCTA volunteers work in local chapters located along the length of the NCNST, and are supported by a small professional staff at NCTA Headquarters in Lowell, MI.
