Shuttle Service

AT Hostel & Outfitters is a licensed shuttle service providing quality transportation to many points in the Katahdin region. We service the northernmost 115 miles of the Appalachian Trail from Monson to Katahdin, as well as the 138.4 miles of the Maine International Appalachian Trail from its southern terminus in Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument to the Canada border.

Our shuttle service is primarily for guests staying at AT Hostel. However, we can accommodate non-guest with prior arrangement.

All hikers looking to climb Katahdin are required to have a day-use parking reservation or a campsite reservation to be shuttled to a Katahdin Trailhead. Using a shuttle service does not bypass the need for a reservation within the park.
