TRAILS FOR EVERYBODY Annual Campaign 2020

Since 2015, Slate Valley Trails (SVT) has been building, maintaining and promoting foot and bicycle trails in western Rutland County, Vermont. We have partnered with local landowners, volunteers and local leaders to create more than 40 miles of trails in Poultney and Wells. What is even more amazing is that these trails are open to the public, and free of charge.

Our Grand Vision: Create a 60-mile, world-class network of connected trails that link to downtown Poultney.

Please help us build a brighter, healthier, economically diverse future for the Slate Valley by contributing to SVT’s “Trails for Everybody” Annual Campaign

We are looking to raise $10,000 this fall, and we need your help!

SVT grows its trail network to 35+ miles, by adding 10+ miles of new single & double-track trails, including a new landowner access agreement with the Lake St. Catherine Country Club (LSCCC), and adds a kiosk and trailhead parking lot at the LSCCC.

SVT volunteers complete a mountain bike skills park and Forest Loop at the Poultney Elementary School with the help of a VMBA Naming Grant from VSECU! Check out our video!
