TRAILS NOT OPEN YET!

Though trails are drying out, there is still underlying frost, and it is too wet in many places. To preserve the trail conditions, please stay off trails at this time as our volunteers assess and work to open what is dry.  


Check the Trail Conditions page for details & updates

Check TrailForks for updates on specific trails


Current drier alternatives: Poultney River and Rail Trail (PRRT), D&H Rail Trail, and Vermont State Parks (VSP COVID 19 update page). 


Once you venture out, please follow current social distancing guidelines for outdoor spaces & Leave No Trace recommendations for getting outside during COVID-19.
