I rode the entire trail over two days. The part near St. Albans that has been fully refurbished is very nice. Much of the trail has "closed" signs posted at road crossings, but many of those sections are not actively under construction, and almost all of them are passable. The repair crew I met up with kindly told me where to detour onto Rte 105 and where to rejoin the trail. The part that has not yet been resurfaced is sub par, no more than a cow path or just mown grass in some places. The good news is that the entire trail is scheduled to be resurfaced during the 2025 construction season, according to the Vermont Rail Trails website. Right now there are numerous, poorly marked crossings of Rte 105, which is quite busy, with cars and large trucks traveling at high speeds. Hopefully, better signage and flashing lights will be installed at all crossings.
The Lamoille Trail is far superior if you only have time for one ride in the St. Albans area.
An enjoyable ride, but like a few reviewers have said, you have to work a little for it. 11 bridges on the 5.3 mile trail and if you meet a rider going the other way it's a tight fit. It can be crowded. But the combination of wildlife, views and nice restaurants and shops is really hard to beat. Just bring some patience. The people I encountered were all really friendly...but there was a lot of them. It's a trail well worth a visit.
We just rode the trail up & back with hybrids. No issues. Good hard pack gravel & sand. Rails & ties are removed. Good food at both trail ends. No one on the trail on first hunting season day.
The trail is beautiful ... and there are three trees that were blown down a few days ago. Clearing them out requires a chainsaw or a group of strong people. It is possible to walk around them. If possible, I will post some photos. It's unfortunate that I see no way of communicating this directly to the State of Vermont.
Trail closed at I91 westbound. DANGER Do not enter sign. Gate across trail.
Lots of bridges to cross, plenty of benches to stop and take a break more at the west end. Wish it was longer but still a very nice ride.
Love riding this paved path along the river. Lots to see in nature and plenty of stopping point. Swimming even and refreshment sts ds for all taste
We rode from Oxbow Riverfront Park (plenty of parking, bathroom) in Morrisville to Cambridge Junction. Round trip about 34 miles. The surface was perfect for our dual sport bikes. Compact smooth gravel. Lost Nation brewery is on the path about a mile from Oxbow. Nice place to have a beer after.
The trail is not that developed, lots of narrow double track with grass in between. Would be better on a mountain bike
We visited this trail while in vacation in Vermont. It was a nice 5+mile trail out and back ~10.85 miles. It had 10 bridges and lots of S curves which made it fun! We were there on a Tuesday 6/2024 so not a ton of people but enough to have to keep a look out. We would definitely tell others about this trail.
Stopped here on our way back from Ottawa ON, CA
We rode just up to the border but, since we just came from Canada, we didn't cross.
