New England Trail Map Guide

Following portions of the Metacomet and Mattabesett trails, the New England Trail National Scenic Trail extends for 215 miles up the center of Connecticut and Massachusetts, from Long Island Sound to the New Hampshire border. This map and guide pairs two topographical trail maps―one for each state―with relevant information such as safety tips, Leave No Trace principles, natural history, and more. Fully revised and updated, this second edition features ten new suggested hikes, making for a total of thirty, including three hikes that are universally accessible. Inset maps for popular areas provide additional hiking opportunities just off the main trail. A collaboration between the trail's maintainers―the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Connecticut Forest & Park Association―in conjunction with the National Park Service, this map and guide is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to day hike or thru-hike this stunningly beautiful National Scenic Trail.
