 NFCT Waterway Work Trips Going on an NFCT Waterway Work Trip (WWT) is a terrific way to get involved! These weekend outings offer hands-on trail maintenance along the scenic Northern Forest Canoe Trail. Work trips have a $60 member/$75 nonmember fee per person to help cover food and project related expenses. Meals include Friday dinner, all Saturday meals, and Sunday breakfast. Paddlers bring their own camping and paddling gear. We can help connect you to an outfitter if you need to rent any equipment.
