Deep in the frozen woods of western Maine, more than 50 miles of trails thread between four backcountry lodges. This system, run by the nonprofit organization Maine Huts and Trails, is an opportunity for adventure and to enjoy small luxuries in the woods. Grand Falls Hut, the most remote in the system, is closed temporarily for bridge and trail repairs. But Flagstaff Hut, Poplar Stream Hut and Stratton Brook Hut, all connected by trails, are open for business. You’ll need to reserve a room to stay the night, and you can opt for your stay to include dinner, breakfast and a bagged lunch during the winter. They also offer shuttle services for your gear.
