Another very rich section of slate quarries lies north of Poultney along several scenic roads.
This route starts on several sections of paved roads that are favorites of the local roadies. The route goes to one of the last, and certainly the most visible, quarry sticks, an old mechanism to lift large slate blocks out of the quarry pits.
On this route you have a slate quarry on one side or the other for almost 3 miles. One of the quarries, on the right side of Evergreen road is a quarter of a mile in length. The road then runs east to Lewis Road and then to the D&H Trails for a flat and straight return to Poultney.
