Trail Town Designation
With the support of the Ely City Council and the North Country Trail Association, Ely has officially been designated as a "Trail Town." According to the NCTA "A Trail Town is a community through which the North Country National Scenic Trail passes that supports hikers with services, promotes the Trail to its citizens, and embraces the Trail as a resource to be protected and celebrated. Trail Towns are built on a relationship between a town, the Trail and its local volunteers."
