HELP BUILD NEW CT SHELTERS FOR THE COHOS TRAIL

Panorama Lean-to

As the trail nears completion, The Cohos Trail Association is beginning its work on lean-tos, shelters and campsites, all widely spaced along the trail system. These include:

  • Two Adirondack-style lean-tos, including Baldhead and Panorama illustrated on this page. Each has a latrine built nearby. Baldhead has an enclosed one, Parorama an outdoor throne.
  • Several primitive camp sites, some with tent platforms and a latrine, some with no amenities.

There is a great deal of interest in keeping the CT primitive, so that it attacts serious hikers who are well supplied for the long haul. A primitive system would keep the number of people using it down too, ensuring that the trail remains the quiet and solitary experience it is today.

If you wish to donate materials or dollars in lieu of materials, please call Pete Castine at 603-538-6777 or email at COHOS TRAIL or send your contribution to:
