Lead a Hike

There’s no better way to share your love of wilderness than to lead a hike.

To lead a FSPW hike, you don’t have to be a fast hiker or an expert outdoors person. All you need is a familiarity with the trail and enthusiasm for sharing the magic of being outdoors with others.

Volunteer hike leaders can guide a hike in the Scotchmans at any time of the year. The summer hiking season is always robust, but we might love winter hiking even more… 

Leading a hike for FSPW is an easy and fun 4 step process:

  1. Choose which trail you’d like to lead a hike on and pick a date.
  2. Submit your plan using the link below.
  3. We will do the back end work of organizing sign ups and coordinate with you before your adventure.
  4. Hike and be merry!

For winter hikes starting in January, please sign up by the end of November.

For more information, take a peek at the Hike Leader Packet. If you have any questions, contact us at info@scotchmanpeaks.org

I lead hikes for FSPW as my way to help others get out into this amazing wilderness for the first time or the hundredth time. Getting to see a fellow hiker experience a new area, new trail, or just a new season as a trail leader is the most rewarding thing.” – Jamilee, volunteer hike leader
