Join CATS Grand Hike Tomorrow

Finishing CATS Grand Hike in Essex (2015)

Hooray!! This SATURDAY is the GRAND HIKE! Click here for more information and to register.

Park in Essex and take one of the free shuttles from the Ferry Dock parking lot to the beginning of the hike in Wadhams.
Shuttles will leave at 12:15, 12:45, and 1:15. A pre-registered “group” of hikers is taking the first shuttle so to avoid waiting, you might consider taking a later bus, especially if you’re a fast hiker.
Registration and check-in is from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. across from the Dogwood Bread Company in Wadhams.
Plan to start your 11-mile hike so you arrive at the Essex Inn in Essex at, or a little after, 4:00 p.m. That means if you are a faster hiker, you should take a later shuttle.
Route maps will be available at check-in and at all the oases.

About Champlain Area Trails (CATS)

Champlain Area Trails (CATS) is a non-profit organization, begun in 2009, which creates and maintains hiking and cross-country ski trails in the Champlain Valley that link communities, connect people with nature, and promote economic vitality. In its short history, CATS has developed 35 miles of trails that when added to existing trails, gets it half-way toward the long-envisioned goal of a 30-mile trail loop between Westport and Essex. CATS will extend its trails to neighboring towns and eventually connect them to trails in the Adirondack Mountains, Vermont, and Quebec. Learn more on the CATS website.
