Affiliated Organizations Share the Dream

The North Country Trail Association enters into affiliate agreements with other organizations who envision the completed trail. Maintaining Affiliates are independent organizations which also work to build, maintain, and promote sections of the trail. Supporting Affiliates are independent organizations which work with us to help fulfil our Mission, but are not responsible for a specific section of trail. Affiliates also have their own web pages - click on a colored area of the map, or browse the state listings.

Affiliates often have their own calendars of events, but some of their activities specific to the NCT are listed in our trailwide Schedule of Events

Members of an Affiliate may become members of the North Country Trail Association at reduced cost. In addition to receiving our national magazine, the North Star, NCTA members also receive local mailings from a nearby chapter. To join now, please use our on-line membership service

To find out more about membership, the Association and the Trail, please use our on-line information request form. We'll send you a packet of information within a couple of weeks.
