Appalachian Trail
Welcome Hikers!
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail stretches over 2,100 miles from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Baxter State Park, Maine, and passes through our lovely town! In fact, Main Street is part of the trail.
The Dartmouth Outing Club is responsible for the maintenance of over fifty miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Velvet Rocks (starting in Hanover) to the downhill portion of Mt. Moosilauke. The DOC is assisted in its maintenance by local community members: Trail Adopters each maintain a few miles of trail and Corridor Monitors steward the land the trail runs through.
