Stowe Recreation Path

summer cycling in stow

July, 2024 by dave99nh

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

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

Lamoille Valley Rail Trail

Outstanding bike trail

June, 2024 by pyattjm

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.

Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail

not enjoyable for me

June, 2024 by rjdennis

The trail is not that developed, lots of narrow double track with grass in between. Would be better on a mountain bike

Stowe Recreation Path

Fun trail!!!

June, 2024 by brhy7px2cf

We visited this trail while in vacation in Vermont. It was a nice 5+mile trail out and back ~10.85 miles. It had 10 bridges and lots of S curves which made it fun! We were there on a Tuesday 6/2024 so not a ton of people but enough to have to keep a look out. We would definitely tell others about this trail.

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.

Island Line Trail

Beautiful Ride

June, 2024 by jkprewoz

Great ride today. Nice wind out of the South with great mix of clouds and dried up pretty well from early morning rain.

Beebe Spur Rail Trail

VERY nice ride - good scenery, nice trail.

June, 2024 by jcenh

Stopped here on our way back from Ottawa ON, CA

We rode just up to the border but, since we just came from Canada, we didn't cross.

Lamoille Valley Rail Trail

Rented bikes from Power Play Sports in Morrisville. Rode out and back to Jeffersonville. Very enjoyable and a nice workout. Well maintained trail.

Island Line Trail

Very nice ride though not very physically difficult. Rode all the way out to ferry crossing and absolutely loved having the water on either side. Multiple places to stop and eat/ rest and enjoy the views.

Alburgh Recreational Rail-Trail

January, 2024 by chesareks

The Alburgh Trail now has a trail head with parking on the east end. The rail veers off the current map just past McGregor Point Road and continues east to the lake at the end of Trestle Drive. The parking area is also part of the Lake Champlain Land Trust Alburgh Lakeshore Park.
