Discover the natural beauty of New England through 150 diverse hikes that range from easy seaside strolls to challenging backcountry adventures. Whether you're exploring the sandy shores of Cape Cod or the rugged peaks of the Maine Highlands, this guide has you covered.

Your ultimate guide to exploring New England's trails and outdoor experiences.

New England Hiking invites you to pack your gear and hit the trails across six states: Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Inside, you'll find a variety of hiking options, including:

• Scenic coastal walks in Maine and tough treks in the Berkshires, suitable for all skill levels from easy day hikes to multi-day backpacking trips.
• Curated lists to help you find hikes based on your interests, such as the best places to swim, high viewpoints, quirky local spots, hikes near breweries, and the top trails for each season.

Experience the great outdoors with activities like cooling off beneath waterfalls, picking wild blueberries in meadows, or soaking in stunning autumn foliage. You can also take a refreshing ocean swim after climbing Acadia’s cliffs, explore shorebird habitats in Rhode Island, visit a replica of Thoreau’s cabin at Walden Pond, enjoy peaceful secluded trails, or admire the Boston skyline from a distance.

After your hike, unwind at a local brewery, camp nearby, or grab a bite at a cozy mom-and-pop restaurant. Each trail description includes essential details such as round-trip distance, estimated hiking time, difficulty level, terrain type, elevation gain, and access points.

The guide also features easy-to-read maps, driving directions to trailheads, parking information, and full-colour photos throughout. Expert hikers Miles Howard and Kelsey Perrett share their personal tips, local insights, and honest opinions on each trail.

Additionally, you'll find practical advice on gear, first aid, environmental protection, and obtaining park passes, along with background information on the region’s climate, landscapes, and wildlife to help you prepare for your adventure.
