Want to be a part of something big?
This coming year, the hiking community (people like you) can be a part of the completion of the Cohos Trail from end to end.
The Cohos Trail will be, when complete, the longest single thru-trail in New Hampshire, more than 162 miles long, longer than the AT in the Granite State. The last fifteen miles or so need to be completed, and you can help us get it done.
This little hiking association, The Cohos Trail Association (TCTA), needs your strong back, your pair of clippers, your bow saw, your love of hiking and wild places, and your desire to see more hiking trails not less.
You may help by contacting us via cohos@cohostrail.org or calling 538-6777 and indicating you'd like to spend one hour, one half day, one whole day, or a lifetime on the CT.
There are lots of things to do, from clipping, to weed whacking, to pulling forest debris out of the trails, to building bog bridges, to rebuilding bridges across streams, to restoring an old historic building, to painting blazes, to putting in water bars and cleaning ditches to allow water to drain away from the trails.
We will be working on new trails like the terrific Mt. Covell Trail, the last few of the Prospect Mt. Trail, the peaceful Round Pond Brook Trail, the bog bridges on the Camp Otter Trail, the Little Falls in the River Trail (best of 'em all), and the new Logging Camp Trail from Second Lake Dam area to East Inlet Road. There will be other bog bridging projects in Pittsburg and Jefferson. We'll build a shed and lean-to at Kamp Kirk in the Nash Stream Forest, and we may get the okay to put in a road bypass trail in that state forest, as well.
Your time and energy or your gift of funds (no matter what the level) would be most welcome to help us finish the longest trail in New Hampshire and one of the longest in the East.
We will schedule work weekends periodically, where you may come a stay for free and work and play with people who love trails. We'll even provide the burgers and refreshments at the end of the day.
Help us go long. Contact us on this website or email or phone, and be a part of something big.
