Trails for More of Us Northern New England

Trails for More of Us Northern New England is a unique guidebook focused on 50 accessible trails across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. For those who aren’t looking for a rugged, steep ascent but are still looking to enjoy the stunning scenery that the region has to offer, this is the perfect guidebook.
Dubbed universal-access (UA), all-persons trails (APT), or ADA trails, these flat, smooth, wide, sustainably built pathways are becoming more and more common across northern New England – allowing those who use canes, walkers, prosthetic limbs, or wheelchairs to enjoy the best of the outdoors. Even those who just want to get outside but are looking for a level grade will discover a selection of smooth crushed-stone and paved trails to explore.
Each chapter thoroughly explains handicapped accessibility for parking, at the trailhead, and throughout the trail. Descriptions of the trail surface, elevation grade, accessible amenities, and scenic highlights will also be included. Detailed driving directions and GPS data will guide readers to each trailhead, while the each chapter describes the hiking route in detail, feature color photos, and include maps of the hiking area and route.
From trails that offer spectacular views of the dramatic Maine coast, to views of New Hampshire’s Presidential Range and Mount Washington, to the Island Line Rail Trail stretching out three miles across a causeway into Vermont’s Lake Champlain, this guide offers something for everyone – along trails accessible to more of us.
