This Trail has been all redone we started at Ricker pond and went to Kettle pond was so much fun the views were amazing
Our plan was to start in Morrissville and camp at Elmore Campground. Park the car in Morrisville due to numerous overnight parking opportunities in Municipal lots and the 600 ft climb to the campground. We rode east to Sugar Ridge Campground ~43 miles. after about 6 miles elevation went up ~2-3% for seemingly 20 miles to about Greensboro Bend. Trail goes downward for ~6 miles then flattens. Access the rear of the Campground from the Trail. No campground sign. The turn off is at the Green Danville 1.4 mile sign. easy to miss. Food sources are in Hardwick(sizeable town just off the trail), Hastings Gen Store/Deli in West Danville on the trail, Restaurants in Danville 1/5 mi from trail, very lg convenience market at Irving Gas Station seen from the Trail east of Danville. Trail was mostly hard cinder and some hard dirt. No trail camping, water, infrequent porto johns, signage was lacking except mile markers. The trail was mostly shaded with some very nice views. We saw one bear cub, otherwise wildlife was lacking except some hawks and other birds. The campgrounds were good with flush toilets. We missed the detours west of St Johnsbury. Another detour added a little mileage and hills on local farm roads. We needed to walk one hill on the detour.
The second part was to get to the car and drive to Elmore lake campground and camp. The next day we were to ride to Carmi Lake campground off the Missiquoi Rail Trail. Due to a Medical Emergency with my co rider, I rode sections west of Morrisville without gear by myself. I rode to Cambridge Jct. A nice place to rest. A train depot was there ,a playground and a covered bridge. Locals frequented it. Cambridge was off the trail with services. The trail was fast, flat and scenic and more in the open thru farmland. Services were lacking.
The next day I rode out and back on the Missiquoi from St Albans for a total of 35 miles. I turned onto the Lamoille when they intersected. The ride was nice but noneventful. Great scenery at various points especially on the Lamoille. Trail quality was very good and fast (Hard packed Cinder). Really no services. Some of those 2-3% grades. We had Gravel bikes with 43 and 45 mm tires. Tires on the trails with >38 mm would be fine due to some sections of loose sand.
It appears as though the trail is still a work in progress. It looks as though the repair of the washed out sections is using up resources that would have gone to railings, signage, benches, repair stations etc. A fair number of locals use the Trails. The trail often follows the scenic Lamoille River. Morrisville is a very nice town with all the services a traveler would want, including a hospital. Overall the trail is very nice and I am glad I rode as much as I did. Hopefully the Cross New Hampshire Trail is next.
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 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
