Sugar River Trail

Not for bicycles!

October, 2024 by jimblackjim7

The scenery is very nice which is why I gave it more than one star. The surface is sand. Sometimes pretty well packed. Other times quite loose. It was doable with our hybrid bikes, but a lot of work and not much fun. Add to this a steady stream of dirt bikes and 4x4s kicking up dust and spewing fumes! Just not our kind of cycling.

Island Line 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.

Island Line Trail

Great ride

September, 2024 by bikersueb

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.

Island Line Trail

Great trail for scenic Lake Champlain Views

September, 2024 by qq4x7jfzqk

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.

Island Line Trail

beautiful ride

August, 2024 by daniellefort

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.

Island Line Trail

Great Ride

July, 2024 by norsteinberg

When riding out of the City of Burlington, Lake Champlain on your left with spectacular views of the Lake. Flat, easy ride, tree covered most of the trip till the Causeway. 7 miles from downtown. Causeway very unique. Wide enough for two bikes 3 miles into Lake Champlain then stops with a break in the causeway. Breathtaking views along the way !!! Can take a ferry to the north part of the causeway and can continue on. A total of 10 miles going out until the causeway break. Afterwards can celebrate with great food, drink and ice cream in downtown Burlington !!

Island Line Trail

Stunning

July, 2024 by teamvolin

The whole trail is scenic. It's fairly flat and easy to ride. The section out to the causeway is absolutely stunning and it's a treat to hop on the bike ferry.

Ti-Haul Trail & Shelburne Bay Park Rec Path

Short Gravel ride with lots of pedestrians

July, 2024 by bkfgyhj8z7

If you want a quick jaunt through the woods on a gravel path this ride might be for you. Just a heads up that you will probably encounter a lot of pedestrians and dogs off of leashes. Ride accordingly. The best part of this trail for me was a quick stop where it meets the lakeshore. Not a bad ride overall but on the shorter side

Island Line Trail

Worth biking, gorgeous views. Just be aware you need to take a bike ferry to travel the last 20% of the causeway.

Delaware and Hudson Rail-Trail

We biked the entire northern half of the D&H Rail Trail to the NY state line. Was pleasantly surprised to find no ruts. Trail was mostly made up of crushed stone. It's mostly a scenic ride, I would recommend this Rail Trail.

Northern Rail Trail

Rode from Lebanon to Grafton, beautiful trail, especially for a gravel bike. There some single track sections, but that added to experience. Loved the fact that it crossed the river many times thus many bridges and several tunnels.
