The Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT) Guidebook will be available in March, 2010. You can preorder your copy, which complements the existing 13 map series, through the online store where all proceeds of the book go directly to the Northern Forest Canoe Trail.

The Northern Forest Canoe Trail is a 740 mile kayak and canoe water trail. It is the longest in the Northeast, situated within a day’s drive of almost 80 million people, including residents of Boston, Montreal, and New York City. As a unique public resource, the NFCT offers world-class paddling experiences. Flowing with stories of Native American peoples, European settlers, developing mill towns and the timber industry, local animal and plant species, and the evolution of new patterns of land ownership, the Trail has a rich heritage and exciting potential as the basis of widely accessible, environmentally friendly tourism in the communities along the route.
