Hiking Maine''s 100 Mile Wilderness - A Guide to the Area''s Greatest Hiking Adventures

Maine’s 100 Mile Wilderness is one of the most famous sections of the Appalachian Trail – a 97-mile stretch that attracts hikers from around the world. The area’s name derives from the fact that it’s the longest section on the whole AT without a paved road crossing or a town. What most people don’t know is that the region is crisscrossed with logging roads, providing day access to the trail as well as the mountain, ponds, and waterfalls surrounding it.

This guide will include more than forty hikes, capturing the best of the great wilderness. Hikes will guide you through a mixture of working forests and preserves. Discover the highest waterfall on the entire Appalachian Trail, remote mountains like Wadleigh, and one of the largest springs in New England. Look inside to find detailed maps, hike descriptions, mile-by-mile directional cues, and much more.
