WAITSFIELD, Vt. -- The Northern Forest Canoe Trail Inc. is now sharing news, events and insights along its 740-mile blueway on the "Voices From The Trail" blog at www.nfct.wordpress.com.

The "Voices From The Trail" blog will keep visitors up to date on NFCT events, waterway projects and volunteer opportunities through text, pictures and video. Visitors can leave comments about their own experiences on the NFCT or ask for suggestions about specific trail sections. The blog will also share stories from NFCT staff and the organization's partners along the trail.

The NFCT stretches from the Fulton Chain of Lakes in northern New York, across northern Vermont and into southern Quebec, Canada; to northern New Hampshire and the St. John River in northern Maine. Waterways include the Saranac River, Lake Champlain, Missisquoi River, Connecticut River, Androscoggin River, Rangeley Lake, Moosehead Lake and the Allagash River.

The trail opened to the public in 2006 and follows the traditional American Indian travel routes of the region through 45 towns and villages. It is the longest inland water trail in the northeast, and an American Canoe Association Recommended Water Trail.
