The Middlesex Trails Committee (MTC) is dedicated to increasing the use of trails around Middlesex. It is a subcommittee of the Middlesex Conservation Commission. The MTC posts signboards marking the trailheads of many of the Town’s public right of ways. These include detailed maps, parking information, use guidelines and more. It also serves as a resource for landowners interested in allowing public trail access or being included on our town trail map.

Middlesex has more than 12 miles of Class 4 roads and legal trails spread throughout town that range in length from .15 to 1.5 miles. The Middlesex Trails Committee (MTC) is creating maps and signposts to make it easier to find these paths and explore them year-round.
Please note these paths are not maintained so be prepared for spots with wet, icy, or rocky conditions and perhaps an occasional downed tree. Please stay on the trails, which are designated by MDX trail markers (see image below). You can also create your own longer loops since many of these routes connect to other town roads.
Many of these trails and roads are surrounded by private land. Please be courteous to adjoining landowners and always follow good trail etiquette.
In general, parking for these trails is along the road. Please be sure to leave at least one lane of traffic open and avoid blocking any driveways. Don’t park in any turnarounds designated for the town plow. These may be in use any time, even between storms.
The trails with signs are listed below. You can view or download any of them, or look for the signs at the trailhead (as indicated on our Middlesex Town Trail Map). The MTC will add more links to this list as new signs are finalized.
- The Conservation Commission and the Trails Committee are developing a new loop trail in our Town Forest. This will be shorter and involve less climbing than the current Chases Mountain summit trail.
- The MTC is working with the Wrightsville Beach District to maintain the existing trail network and explore possible extensions.
- The MTC and the MCC serve as stewards of the White Rocks Trail from its junction with the Hunger Mountain Trail to the summit of White Rocks as well as the connector trail between White Rocks and Hunger Mountain.
