워싱턴 카운티 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

A nice stretch of gravel road — nothing stressful to ride. It ties into the Cross-Vermont Trail and the Montpelier Bike Trail.

This is a highly walkable town (population about 5,300) that caters to foodies and outdoors enthusiasts. High points include the local shops, restaurants, mountain biking trails and the nearby Waterbury Reservoir, a few miles north of the road.

The Winooski West Path is a 2.6-mile paved multiuse trail that follows along the scenic Winooski River through a mix of forest and urban landscapes. This trail is perfect for walking, biking, and running, as it's mostly flat with views of the water the entire way. It's easily accessible from downtown, making it an ideal spot for a relatively short hike—whether you're taking a lunch break or simply want to spend an hour enjoying a stroll along the beautiful waterfront.

Lintilhac Park is a lovely little park behind the Stowe Community Church and is a common access point for the southern end of the Stowe Recreation Path, just north of Main Street, Stowe. The Stowe Recreation Path is a popular, scenic, 5.3-mile paved trail that is open for bikers and walkers, and is groomed in the winter for cross-country skiers. This fantastic trail crosses Little River several times via wooden bridges, has multiple spots for swimming, and offers direct access to many restaurants and shops in Stowe. There is a bike repair station at Lintilhac Park for those who might need it, in addition to parking for the Recreation Path.

The trees clear out near the top of 1207-foot Barnes Hill, giving you some nice views of the landscape around you. It's a nice climb to get up here, but no so bad that you need quads of steel to make it.

This scenic pass between the Green Mountains offers stunning views and a gateway to charming towns and outdoor adventures.
