History

Established in 2007.

Maine Huts & Trails was first imagined in the 70’s by Larry Warren, a local guy with an impressive track record of turning big ideas into realities. The vision: a series of backcountry huts that would allow multi-​day Nordic ski trips from Moosehead Lake to the Mahoosuc Mountain Range; a model inspired by the hut to hut treks throughout the European Alps. To date, there are four backcountry eco-​lodges connected by 80 miles of trail open year-​round from West Forks to Stratton, with eight more huts planned.

In the 30 years since the idea was hatched, Maine Huts & Trails has evolved into much more than a great place for a backcountry adventure. As a nonprofit, the organization has become a valuable community resource for Western Maine.
