When I first got my roller skates this was the first outdoor distance skating path I took, and I go back to it all the time! It can be a little crowded on the nicer days, and there is a section just after the cemetery where the pavement is rough for a little bit, but it smooths back out. Be careful if you are on skates the further up you go though— there are a few intersections with traffic that the cars do not have stop signs for! I’ve yet to go all the way, but I always go a little bit farther each time :)
I like the location, parking is free and had plenty of space open (Ethan Allen Homestead off of 127). Inline skate friendly? Maybe, bikes certainly.
From Morrisville heading to Cambridge trail is wonderful. . . Morrisville heading South you can go 5.5 miles but it really is not bike ready. . . VERY rough.
Started the trail at the S. Hero end and the little ferry wasn’t operating yet but still a lovely walk
Even on a cloudy day in November this trail is a pleasure to run, ride or walk. Great views of the lake and very peaceful smooth trail.
I am still catching my breath from the stunning scenery I saw on my ride 5 days ago on this path. It is short, but you can extend the ride by going north and just keep taking any right turn that will lead you toward Lake Champlain. Just a truly wonderful area to ride my bike and breath that oh-so-fresh air. The TrailLink description is very accurate.
Rode from Morrisville to Cambridge Junction and back. Enjoyable ride that follows the river and meanders through corn and forests. Be sure to check out the falls. Stopped at Lost Nation Brewery at the end to rehydrate¿¿
The trail is in very good condition with one exception. The last mile heading north has been reduced to two narrow single tracks. It needs resurfacing before nature totally reclaims it. That being said, it's still smooth and easy to ride. There are lots of openings in the trees along the trail with beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Ample designated trail parking at the hospital next door. It was a nice end to a day spent in the general Newport/Derby area.
I rode the causeway today and all construction has been completed. It was a wonderful ride !
Rode East to West trail is mostly cinder and well maintained crossing Route 2 in West Danville is dangerous VT drivers do not give way, Joe's Pond is a great place for a dip and a meal, next time I will end there for both.
I rode most of the western half of the trail and found it to be enjoyable. On the plus side, it is scenic, wide enough in most spots to allow riders in both directions, not overly crowded, very manageable hills, and mostly well marked. On the negative side, the gravel is looser than many trails I’ve been on, there are no benches to sit and take a break, and surprisingly, the trail is more wide open than I anticipated. It was up around 90 the day I rode it and it would have been uncomfortable if it wasn’t overcast. And being more open, there wasn’t as much wind protection as found in more forested trails. But overall, it is an enjoyable trail.
