From Local Motion:
This is a flat scenic trail a great place for a walk or run. The northern 3/4 mile section is a shared-use corridor with motor vehicles. The southern half-mile section is a stunning non-motorized path that juts into Lake Champlain. Local Motion operates a seasonal "bike ferry" service for walkers and bicyclists across the 200-foot cut where an old turnstile bridge operated.
This is a VT Department of Fish & Wildlife Access Area. Its primary use is to provide lake access for anglers. Other uses, like walking and bicycling, are allowed as long as they dont interfere with the areas traditional use so please share this facility with others. The path is on an old marble-clock railroad causeway built in 1900 as part of the Rutland Railroad Island Line. Click here for the history of the Island Line.
Volunteers have placed red wooden identification labels on various trees and plants along the route. The causeway offers sweeping views of the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks.
