On a sunny day, you can't beat this lovely ride! P.S. I can't beleive someone used a Trail Link review to attack Democratic legislators for trail closures due to flood repairs. Remember that the president and the GOP have slashed funding for parks and recreational sites across the entire country. Park and trail maintenance is critical and without it, parks decline and decay. But the Trump Administration is prioritizing Billionaires over families who just want to hike and camp and bike in our beautiful hills and valleys. I hope Congress will come to its senses and go back to funding these parks ... they are our heritage and refuge.
The grift continues on this rail trail there is money to repair old unused rail station while the rail trail is closed from St Johnsbury this is what happened when Democrats run your state.
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.
love this trail and am really looking forward to more good-weather days ahead. I managed to get out for a ride this afternoon after a quick rain shower moved through, and it turned out to be a decent day. Despite the recent rain—and even snow just two days ago—the trail was in great shape between Highgate and Fairfield. I rode 15 miles out and back for a total of 30 miles. Smooth ride, beautiful scenery, and well-maintained conditions. Can’t wait to be back out there again soon! Better weather is coming…
We rode out to the ferry on Sunday Sept 1, 2004, which was a very warm beautiful day. The causeway was too crowded to do anything other than ride single-file each way, with few opportunities to pass. User 'daniellefort' was correct about weekends but also correct about the nice little beach bar which we hit on the way back and that was wonderful on our hot 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.
Wonderful trail to ride. Not hilly. We did it with ebikes and had a blast!! Gets busy in town but when you get farther out busy but not congested. Beautiful scenery the whole way. Some little parts through housing developments but still very open.
We biked from the Waterfront to the end of the Causeway, this trail was awesome. Mostly paved then it turns into fine gravel, which was no problem for our road bike tires. We went in September so the trail wasn’t that crowded. Everyone observed the rules, we’re very friendly and just having a good time. The ride out to the end of the Causeway was beautiful! We will be back to ride it again.
Rented bikes at Local Motion in Burlington and road the 10 mile trail out onto the Colchester causeway,a path out into the lake. Really nice path, mostly flat, and several places along the route for rest stops and fitness stops along the path to add exercises to your bike or walk.
We started at the south end and went up to the ferry and turned around there. From what I could see on maps, there wasn’t much on the other side. We went on a warm day in the 80’s which was a good thing because there was quite a breeze over the causeway. I could see it being a bit chilly on a cooler day. It was busy for a Tuesday. Can’t imagine how busy a weekend could be. We encountered a lot of walkers along with bikers. Definitely highly recommend. There was a little beach bar we stopped at after we saw the sign on the pathway. Nice little beach, drinks and food was just ok.
