Vermont Trails & Greenways

Dread your commute? These folks suggest trying a trail instead

Imagine a commute without the worry of traffic jams, potholes or detours, a path to town that’s nearby, maintained and linked to routes just like it all over the state.

That’s the Cross Vermont Trail Association’s vision — to create a web of trails for bikers and walkers to have easy access and safe travels between north-central Vermont towns.

In Tunbridge, a legal battle over public trails could restrict access across Vermont

There’s a legal battle playing out in Tunbridge over who should maintain the so-called legal trails in Vermont.

Legal trails are former public roads, which aren’t used for traffic anymore, but are still open for walking and other recreational uses. The eventual court ruling could have an impact on more than 500 miles of public trails across the state.

The fight’s been going on for almost five years. The town has spent almost $40,000 so far defending itself in court.

And the whole thing started with a small sign that was pounded into the ground along a public trail that’s less than a mile long.
