AMC lands in the northeastern U.S. offer a variety of recreational pursuits with a focus on outdoor exploration, sustainable use, and conservation.
The Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) manages a collection of lands in the northeastern United States, primarily across Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. These lands are renowned for their diverse natural environments, spanning rugged mountains, dense forests, and pristine rivers. The AMC's mission is to foster the protection, enjoyment, and understanding of these regions' natural landscapes. Their properties offer an array of outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and paddling, bolstered by a well-maintained network of trails and campsites. The White Mountains in New Hampshire, for example, stand as a highlight of their stewardship, offering challenging terrain and stunning vistas. Environmental education and sustainable land-use practices are also focal points, with AMC's initiatives placing a strong emphasis on preserving ecological integrity while encouraging visitors to engage with nature responsibly.
