We hope you are having a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend out on the water!
The Trail cuts across the Northern Forest Region connecting 22 rivers and 56 lakes and ponds. The NFCT is a Paddle America Club, fostering paddler development and stewardship of our waterways through our Adopt-a-Segment Program, group led trips, and river events.
This year, using their Club Fostered Stewardship grant funds, the NFCT will be creating a new portage trail and a lean-to for paddlers at a site in Derby, Vermont.
Through funds provided by L.L. Bean, the ACA's Club Fostered Stewardship program, has provided nearly $130,000 to over 135 different stewardship initiatives since its inception thirteen years ago.
The NFCT is currently celebrating its 15th year as an organization. In that time, they improved paddler access and camping opportunities, as well as developed programs that get youth out on the Trail.
