This trail goes from Lake Placid to Tupper lake. The trail map in this ap shows it ends in Saranac lake the full length is about 35miles. You go by many bogs, lakes and forests. Trail is mostly packed cinder. Has many gradual up and down sections. Has to be about peak color this 1st weekend of October!
I did a large part of this trail with my wife. Did the whole ferry over the causeway. We were there last fall and it would be a great trail, but not if you are on a regular bike. They rent ebikes and there were so many of them going 20 mph plus on the narrow parts you were constantly pulling over for them. So if you are an ebiker it is great regular bikes not so much.
I can find bike trails with out so many ebikers going at high speeds that are much more enjoyable. Never going to say which ones though.
My family and I made this trail a multi-day ride so the kids could do the whole thing. I didn't realize the trail was so new when we planned the trip, but you can tell while riding it that all the improvements are new and the trail is remarkably smooth. The views along the lakes and marshes are spectacular and the stretch between Tupper Lake and Saranac Lake is an amazing ride through an otherwise very remote area. Stop by the Floodwood Outpost if you're passing by. The owner was great, and helped us find a good place to camp.
The Tri-Haul Trail has a big pile of large rocks about 15 feet long at each end. Had to walk our bikes through that. The middle of the trail has large white gravel that is doable if you have wide tires. The Bay Trail was fine and the rest of the Tri-Haul Trail was fine.
I have been watching the completion of this trail for some time and couldn’t wait to ride it, which I did this July. Worth the wait and spectacular in so many ways. The surface is pristine gravel (some paving around Saranac, with new guardrails and places for viewing the lakes and marshes. I was not prepared for the absolute beauty and remoteness at times. From Saranac through Floodwater to Tupper Lake there are not many signs of human habitation. A mother deer and her two babies crossed in front of us, as did a weasel. Even though I have an E Bike, I did the trail in two days: Lake Placid to Charlie’s Inn and Charlie’s to Tupper Lake. Gave me time to stop and enjoy the beauty of nature. Obviously care and planning has gone into this project. So glad I did it.
Beautiful scenery from Tupper Lake to Lake Clear. Last couple of miles if going east towards Lake Placid is a deceiving uphill with not much shade. Overall a great trail.
Top trail for us in our travels so far. Diversity of scenery, activity, and terrain complete this adventure. We started and finished at a midway point, Leddy Park, to avoid potential congestion on the Burlington side, proved to be a good strategy. The Causeway is unique, not too often do you encounter a bike ferry. This is a destination ride to be sure.
The part between Saranac and about 3 miles south of Floodwood (where the lakes begin/end) is the best. I thought Saranac to Placid was comparatively boring, although Placid is a must-see tourist town if in the area. The climb up to Placid at the end is worth noting. I did out and back, for reference.
We rode the first 16 miles of the trail from St Albans. The trail was in perfect shape and completely lovely
A group of biking friends and I biked the length of the LVRT from Swanton to Saint Johnsbury (June 29-July 1, 2026). We had been hoping to ride the trail for the past several years but put it off due to the severe damage to it from several years of flooding rains. The LVRT experience was well worth the wait. The trail was in great shape. The scenery was spectacular and the communities along the trail seem to fully embrace the trail and the riders it attracts. There are quality lodging and eating options within a few miles of the trail. Organizations like the Lamoille Valley Bike Tours and Vermont's various governmental agencies have done themselves proud in creating, maintaining and promoting this trail. Even the black flies and mosquitos seemed to encourage riders by ignoring us.
My friends and I have ridden quite a few trails over the past 20 years in both Europe and the US and this little 100 mile gem ranks right up there with the best. Thank you to all the private and public individuals and agencies who made this trail a reality. And, a special acknowledgement of the many property abutters who may have been skeptical when this trail was just a proposal but seem to wholeheartedly seem to support the LVRT now!
