The Forks Area Scenic Trail: Running, Biking, Hiking
The Forks Area Scenic Trail, along the Kennebec River, is ideal for running, biking, or hiking with dogs and kids.
The Appalachian Trail connects our resort in The Forks, Maine and our Katahdin Adventure Base Camp next to Baxter State Park. Both locations feature some of Maine’s best hiking trails: Mt Katahdin (Maine’s highest mountain,) Moxie Falls (Maine’s tallest waterfall,) Mt Kineo on Moosehead Lake (Maine’s largest lake.) Below are our latest hikes, your hiking trip reports and a recreation map for The Forks showing hiking trailheads. Post your Maine hiking photos with #NorthernOutdoors to be featured in our taproom. Happy Trails!

We camped with Northern Outdoors for our first visit to Maine. It was a great base camp for the hiking and rafting that we did.
Whitewater rafting Maine’s Kennebec River, and hiking to Moxie Falls, one of New England’s highest waterfalls. Have fun outdoors no matter the weather with the right gear and the right people!
Hiking the Appalachian Trail to Pleasant Pond Mountain leads to expansive views of Maine mountains. A family hike, kid and dog friendly.
Put on your trail-running shoes and join Baxter Outdoors and Northern Outdoors (yes, we’re very outdoorsy) for a 6-mile trail-running race on Saturday, October 4, 2014. We’re thrilled to be hosting this brand new 10K on our Forks Area Scenic Trail (FAST). We’ve teamed up with Baxter Outdoors for this fun event–right in the middle of peak leaf season!
The central trail follows the Lower Kennebec River along the Old Canada Road Scenic Byway from Solon past Northern Outdoors in The Forks and up about three miles along the Kennebec River to Moxie Falls. The 2nd trail branches off at the confluence of the Dead River and Kennebec River and follow the Dead River all the way to Grand Falls.
We had the great pleasure of talking wtih Kate Imp, Director, Thru-Hiker, and Executive Producer of the new and fascinating documentary about her journey with her brother and best friend, titled “Beauty Beneath the Dirt”. It’s takes place while thru-hiking on the Appalachian Trail…
