The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail offers an easygoing touring cycling experience through northern Vermont's picturesque landscapes. You'll pedal on a firm, compacted crushed stone surface, enjoying gentle grades as the route winds through lush forests, rolling farmlands, and charming villages. Keep an eye out for historic covered bridges and the Lamoille River, which often parallels the trail, providing continuous scenic views.
This 14.4-mile (23.2 km) section, with only 355 feet (108 metres) of elevation gain, is rated easy and takes about 1 hour and 31 minutes to complete. It's an ideal choice for a relaxed bike tour or for newer riders. The trail connects several towns, offering convenient access to amenities like cafes and restaurants, particularly in areas like Morrisville.
As New England's longest rail trail, the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is notable for its car-free pathway and historical significance, following the path of the former Lamoille Valley Railroad. It's a multi-purpose corridor, popular for cycling in warmer months and used for snowshoeing and Nordic skiing in winter, making it a year-round destination.
