Who We Are
Maine Huts & Trails is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create and operate a world-class system of backcountry trails and eco-lodges for people-powered recreation to enhance the economy, communities and environment of Maine’s Western Mountain region, for the benefit of current and future generations.
What We Do
Maine Huts & Trails was first imagined in the 1970s by Larry Warren, a local guy with an impressive track record of turning big ideas into realities. The vision: a series of backcountry huts that would allow multi-day Nordic ski trips from Moosehead Lake to the Mahoosuc Mountain Range; a model inspired by the hut-to-hut treks throughout the European Alps. To date, there are four backcountry eco-lodges connected by 80 miles of trail open year-round from West Forks to Stratton, with eight more huts planned.
In the 30 years since the idea was hatched, Maine Huts & Trails has evolved into much more than a great place for a backcountry adventure. As a nonprofit, the organization has become a valuable community resource for Western Maine. Besides drawing thousands of environmentally conscious visitors to the area every year, Maine Huts & Trails benefits the local community in many ways.
