ECTA has made all of our high quality town wide trail maps available digitally through the avenzamaps.com app to be used for navigation via GPS on trails in Hamilton, Ipswich, Topsfield, Wenham, and West Newbury. Both the Avenza Maps app and our maps are free. Through Avenza Maps, our maps can be used on your mobile device anywhere – without a cellphone signal. For those that prefer a paper map, we have individual trail maps available to be printed from our website for most of our trails, with a few still in progress.
To get our digital maps, visit avenzamaps.com on your home computer or mobile device and create an account, then view all available maps in the Map Store. Search for our maps using keyword ECTA.
To use our maps for navigating and recording your distance on trails, download the free Avenza Maps app from the App Store on your smartphone or mobile device, then search in the map store for keyword ECTA. Maps need to be downloaded directly from Avenza Maps to each smartphone or home device.
