White Brook Trail Update: Reopening June 2027

In late 2024, the White Brook Trail access road was impacted by flooding and the route was determined to be too dangerous for public use until it was repaired. Access to the trail – the official A.T. side trail that is the easiest access to the summit of White Cap Mountain, the highest peak in the Hundred Mile Wilderness – had just been reopened in 2023 and the trail was seeing moderate use. There was a plan to reroute one section and put in new signs to help hikers find the way.

With the Appalachian Mountain Club’s upcoming acquisition of adjacent lands, MATLT is pleased to announce that the White Brook Trail will once again be open for use beginning in June of 2027. Portions of the road need to be repaired and lower sections of the trail need to be cleared (see image above), but this work should be completed by next year.
