This is a great trail. I have biked it from Canada many times over the past three years. It is on an old railway line and in fact crosses the Canadian border and continues for another 15 miles north to Ayer's Cliff, a small village at the south end of Lake Massawippi in Quebec, Canada.
Unfortunately, you can not cross the border on the trail. You have to ride approximately two miles east along the road at the north end of the trail to a border crossing in the village of Beebe, Quebec, then ride a mile up the main street of Beebe (wide street, very little traffic) to where you reconnect with the trail. The trail then follows the Tomifobia River to Ayer's cliff. The Canadian portion of the trail alternates from river bank to deep woods to open fields and ponds.

Me and my girlfriend stumbled upon this trail while on business in Newport, Vermont. What an awesome hike! You can hike all the way to Canada! It follows the lake most of the way, so the views are outstanding. You will also run into a stretch of a few homes right off the trail. A very friendly dog, and later a cat -- decided to follow us for part of the hike. Highly recommended.

This is a great trail. It runs along Lake Memphremagog for most of the trip. We've used the trail for several years.
