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.
We road 5 miles of the trail starting in Littleton.
But after 5 miles we turned back because ATV's have torn-up the trail.
This trail is OK for walking, but no longer OK for bicycles.
It is sad. It would be a nice trail if the ATV's had not destroyed it.
Trail closed at I91 westbound. DANGER Do not enter sign. Gate across trail.
Whatever the previous people experienced has been taken care of … the only obstacles are the barriers you go around preventing atvs from using the trail … it’s not a paved trail but it is very smooth for a natural trail… its absolutely gorgeous from Littleton to the nh border… today I am biking with my sister and brother in law and look forward to exploring the wonders of nature and enjoying every minute of it!
Local culture and true Americana… this is life as it should be!
I started this ride at the northernmost end (Skookumchuck) and rode all the way to The Flume. Unfortunately, my time there was limited, and I would have loved to stop at the many available sites along the way. Many places to stop for a bite, see nature, read about history, and use bathrooms. But be aware that this is a very hilly ride. You will have hills to climb, and you will descend very quickly. There are also a few sharp turns. Be on the lookout for walkers, other bikers, and pet walkers. The trail, while asphalt, is also bumpy due to tree roots growing underneath.
My husband and I were so looking forward to this trail. We started at the west end (as it was closest to our vacation rental) with the intention of riding as much as we could, hopefully to the end. We got about 5 miles in, subjecting our bikes and our bodies to the ongoing bumps along the way. Once we got to the very narrow (about 12 inches wide) section with grass grown into the path, we gave it a try and finally decided to turn around not knowing if it was going to get any better. We decided to drive over to the east end thinking that would be a better place to ride (based on reviews). We got 3 miles in from that end. We simply weren't enjoying the very rough ride that this trail provides. Again, we were very disappointed. What we did see along the west route was beautiful and exactly the type of scenery we were hoping for. But the uncomfortable nature of the ride made it very undesirable.
Started at the very north end just before the interstate starts and went to the parking lot of The Flume. It was 10.1 miles. Had some very steep hills, some picnic tables scattered along the trail and some nice scenic spots. Not my favorite trail due to the hills as I ride on a trike with a passenger seat for my daughter and struggled getting up the hills but it is very scenic.
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.
We only had an hour before sunset but went from the flume visitor center to the basin. We loved it!
