Some segments have "other trails" indented under the segment. These "other trails" connect to or come near the NCTA with some shown on the official NCTA maps while others aren't.
Detailed maps with access roads and parking areas are posted on the relevant segment or other trails page. Note that in Marquette County many dirt roads are not signed and logging and camp roads may confuse the novice back woods driver. You can select to download PDF versions of each map as well as the directions in 8.5 x 11 format as desired. Please note that if you have dial-up, downloading these maps and directions may take time. We don't have any other way to get you good printable maps so be patient. Thanks and enjoy!
As you hike many segments of our trail, be aware that cell phone coverage will be little to non-existent so plan accordingly. Make sure you hike in groups and that someone not hiking knows where you plan to be.
