The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is New England’s longest rail trail. The 93-mile path goes through villages and cornfields, along rivers, and past historic, once-bustling train stations.
“The trail itself is a wide, compacted gravel path—smooth enough for a wheelchair or handcycle—with grassy shoulders and gentle grades. Within just a few miles, I rolled through pine forests, fields of late-summer corn, and stretches that opened up to the Lamoille River with mountains beyond.”
— Edie Perkins, athlete, adventurer, and handcyclist
