Welcome to The Cohos Trail – 170 miles of wilderness hiking in NH!
The Cohos Trail runs from southern Crawford Notch in the White Mountain National Forest through the Great North Woods to the Canadian border at far-flung Pittsburg, NH. Hearty souls can then continue on Sentier Frontalier’s trails to Mount Megantic or Mount Gosford in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. This network is the only international trail system in New Hampshire and the second international pathway in the East. There are many day hike opportunities along the full length of the Cohos Trail and a great deal of remote territory to explore where you may meet more moose than humans.
The new 2023 Edition of the Cohos Trail Map is now available. Data books and the guidebook are being updated. No release date yet.
RECOMMEND THAT YOU WAIT FOR THE NEW GUIDEBOOK AND DATA BOOKS – WE HOPE TO HAVE THEM READY SOON. 03/05/2023 update
Please be aware that we are discontinuing our current hats and T shirts. As sizes run out, we will not be reordering. If you would like one of the current items, please order soon. Thank you.
A LOT OF GROUND TO COVER
In a very real sense you keep the Cohos Trail “on the ground” with a Cohos Trail Association membership. Your initial or continuing support through membership ensures that this long footpath through New Hampshire’s wildest backcountry doesn’t revert back to a trackless way in the forest. It also ensures that there is a grand uncrowded treadway away from the heavily trafficked trails in the White Mountains.
So, your membership matters. If you desire to tramp where there are more moose than people, become a member. If you wish to continue to trek on the wild side of the Great North Woods, renew your membership. Your dollars go “on the ground”, as we say, and the Cohos Trail is a lot of ground to cover.
Before the sun burns out, become a member. Easy. Memberships are attainable via our website www.cohostrail.org or by mailing a check to The Cohos Trail Association, P.O. Box 82, Lancaster, NH 03584
Thank you ever so much.
