For the 1st time in years, Maine Appalachian Trail volunteers will be able to shower on their days off

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • December 18, 2021

The Maine Appalachian Trail Club is closing in on its fundraising goal of nearly $1.4 million to build a new permanent facility in Skowhegan that will house Appalachian Trail volunteers. The new location will allow the group to better access the western portion of the trail to continue improvements and — perhaps most importantly — will give volunteers a place to shower. The club’s fundraising campaign called “Trail Champions” is raising $1,374,500 to build The Maine Trail Center in Skowhegan.
