So does anybody keep track of the fastest known time for completing the entire NFCT?
I’d like to know if anyone has gone faster than my wife and our friend did in 2012 (21 days, 4 hours). (if I may brag a little)
I’ll define a thru paddle as traveling the approximate route shown on the map between Old Forge and Fort Kent and not using motorized transportation to make forward progress. Travelers may choose to paddle or portage any section, depending on their skills, equipment and conditions. Portage wheels are allowed, food can be purchased along the way or shipped in advance, and camping out every night is not required.
I don’t want to make this wilderness trail into a race, and very much enjoyed my journey on the trail.
Anybody faster out there?
