Adopt-a-Section - Northern Forest Canoe Trail

Now Seeking Adopters to Help Maintain the Northern Forest Canoe Trail!

Adopters take care of a stretch of Trail that is between a half-day to a full-day's paddle, or approximately ten miles. Adopters visit at least twice during the paddling season to do general upkeep such as:

• replacing missing or damaged signs
• clearing portage trails of blowdowns or overgrowth
• picking up trash
• maintaining paddler campsites

Adopters are the eyes and ears of their waterway, noticing any damage done by flooding or vandals and reporting the need for large-scale work projects.

Adopters Need:

• a boat and paddle, although some sections can be maintained without paddling
• a pair of work gloves
• basic hand tools such as a screwdriver and a bow saw
• a desire to get to know a waterway more intimately: its people, flora, fauna, shorelines, currents, and seasonal changes
