I rode the entire trail over two days. The part near St. Albans that has been fully refurbished is very nice. Much of the trail has "closed" signs posted at road crossings, but many of those sections are not actively under construction, and almost all of them are passable. The repair crew I met up with kindly told me where to detour onto Rte 105 and where to rejoin the trail. The part that has not yet been resurfaced is sub par, no more than a cow path or just mown grass in some places. The good news is that the entire trail is scheduled to be resurfaced during the 2025 construction season, according to the Vermont Rail Trails website. Right now there are numerous, poorly marked crossings of Rte 105, which is quite busy, with cars and large trucks traveling at high speeds. Hopefully, better signage and flashing lights will be installed at all crossings.
The Lamoille Trail is far superior if you only have time for one ride in the St. Albans area.
Highly recommend. Parked at the south end, Oakledge Park. Made wrong turn to start so ended up downtown - there’s so many trails it’s hard to follow “bike path” signs and always be on the right one. Easily got back on near the harbor. Consider weekday if you can. It was pretty busy on a Friday so I imagine weekends are worse. After taking the ferry across ($10 donation requested, Venmo or cash), biked around 3 miles inland to farm stand for lunch at The Hive.
