The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) and the National Park Service collaborated to create the interactive map of the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) using ESRI’s Arc GIS Online mapping software. Although helpful, this map is only meant to be used as a general reference and is not meant to be a replacement for the printed hiking A.T. maps, which are available from the Ultimate Appalachian Trail Store.
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which will be 2,198.4 miles long in 2023, will be the world’s longest hiking-only trail. From its southern terminus at Springer Mountain, Georgia, to its northern conclusion at Katahdin, Maine, the Trail crosses fourteen states while following the crests and valleys of the Appalachian Mountain Range.
More over 3 million people annually visit the “A.T.”, or Appalachian Trail, and over 3,000 people attempt to “thru-hike” the entire pathway in a single calendar year. People come to the A.T. from all over the world for a variety of reasons, including reestablishing a connection with nature, avoiding the stress of city life, making new friends or strengthening existing ones, or living a simpler existence.
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is the focus of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s (ATC) advocacy, management, and protection efforts.
The ATC, which was founded in 1925, is in charge of leading the endeavor to preserve, honor, and safeguard the A.T. As a part of an innovative cooperative management system, we collaborate with numerous local, state, and federal partners to strengthen the Trail’s protections. The National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, numerous state agencies, and 31 neighborhood Trail-maintenance clubs are a few of our collaborators.
The ATC receives the majority of its funding from its more than 30,000 members and 600,000 supporters, who are dispersed across all 50 states and more than 15 different nations. Their backing assures that the unique A.T. hiking experience is safeguarded against development, rising outdoor use, and other dangers.

The world’s longest hiking-only footpath is the 2,190-mile Appalachian National Scenic Trail, also referred to as the Appalachian Trail or simply “the A.T.” From its southern terminus at Springer Mountain, Georgia, to its northern conclusion at Katahdin, Maine, the Trail crosses fourteen states while following the crests and valleys of the Appalachian Mountain Range.
Over 3,000 people try to “thru-hike” the entire trail in a single year out of the more than 3 million visitors that come to the Trail each year. People come to the A.T. from all over the world for a variety of reasons, including reestablishing a connection with nature, avoiding the stress of city life, making new friends or strengthening existing ones, or living a simpler existence.
The A.T. is a part of the National Park System and was finished in 1937. It is overseen by a special public-private partnership, headed by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
So lets explore the world and enjoy your own life with adventurous activities and share experience with us.
