The North Country Trail Association
The human, health, and community benefits associated with the North
Country National Scenic Trail (NCNST) have been widely realized in many
communities. The NCNST helps encourage healthy lifestyles and active living
by supporting hiking and other recreational activities. The trail provides
environmental benefits by protecting important human and wildlife corridors
and enabling alternative modes of transportation. The North Country National
Scenic Trail also helps foster a strong sense of community and place, providing
an opportunity for social interaction and access to community amenities such
as parks, neighborhoods, schools, and downtowns.
