  Dave Ackerson also covers Williamstown, MA. It’s only 5 miles from North Adams. I notice you didn’t reference ATC’s shuttle page at: https://www.appalachiantrail.org/docs/default-source/default-document-library/at-shuttlesf3b2de6668ce6efcb07bff000057c13a.pdf?sfvrsn=0

  White Blaze just updated their list recently which is a hybrid of the ATC list, which is updated regularly, probably more regularly than this listing. For instance, the ATC list has several more folks listed in the Rutland/Killington, VT area so it’s good to check all the lists. Kudos to trying to combine them.

    Thank you for the kudos from the guy who annoyed people for the length of the AT compiling the listing at WhiteBlaze. The previous listing(s) were seriously outdated!

  PS: There are actually lots of folks in the network between Kent and Dalton that you can access by calling someone on the ATC list… just saying. Not everyone wants to be on the lists, so sometimes it takes calling someone who knows someone… =) Be resourceful!

  Don’t forget The Farmhouse in Rangeley, Maine! Affiliated with the Stratton Motel in Stratton, Maine, they can shuttle basically anywhere, including all locations listed under the Stratton Motel. Also, they and the Stratton Motel can shuttle to any trailhead primarily between Andover and Caratunk, Maine, and so can slack pack hikers as well. I’ve been doing work for stay between The Farmhouse and Stratton Motel since last season, so if anyone has questions I’d be more than happy to help.

    Hi there! Do you think my friends and I could get a shuttle from Stratton to Farmington? We are trying to figure out how to get off trail to a rental car place in Farmington!
    Any advice is appreciated!
    Best,
    Hannah

  In the Hamburg, PA area: Rainbow Alpaca Shuttle Service 484.560.7813

  We offer slack packing, cheap shuttles ($5 per person into Hamburg), trail reports, hospital runs, pizza deliveries, brewery tours, wine tastings, and pretty much anything else hikers can think to do in the area. We operate between 501 and 309 regularly, but with enough notice, we can go pretty much wherever you need to go.

  This is still not really in the easiest format. A spreadsheet or something more searchable is better. I’ve been on the ATC list (may it RIP) and White Blaze for like 8 years and I’m not on this list. Just sayin’. Lists and calendars are hard to compile.

  Hi –
  Just wondering if this information is updated regularly. I see the list was originally posted in 2016, so am just wondering if I should be using this as up to date information (:

  Thanks!

  This list is very inaccurate, not sure where you are getting your information from or what research was done, but more effort needs to be put into this to make it accurate and fair for all who do shuttle services. The section from Hot Springs To Damascus alone is missing several shuttle providers. Missing:

  Boots Off Hostel & Campground

  Roan Mountain Shuttles (The Station at 19E)

  The Refuge Hostel

  Black Bear Resort

  The Rabbit Hole

  You should remove Braemar Castle (Pretty sure they backed away from shuttles several years ago)

  Basically every place on this list needs to be called and some time and effort to make it an accurate list to publish for people to use. I’m sure other sections listed have a few that need to be removed and some that needed to be added.

  Please try and remedy as it is not giving other an opportunity to help hikers since they are omitted from the list.

  Thanks,

  I also have a shuttle service (Encourager Shuttles) and am located in Hiawassee, Ga. I’m a biker and do donation only shuttles local to Hiawassee and ask for reasonable donations for longer shuttles. I serve Springer to Fontana. All donations go back to the hiker community on the form of trail magic and rescues. Encourager. Text: 806-897-7281
