On a crisp mid October morning I hit the LVRT (Lamoille Valley Rail Trail) in Northern Vermont. I took the drone and got some nice shots of Vermont’s fall colors.
I started out in Cambridge VT and the Jeffersonville trailhead and went 15 miles east to Hyde Park where I stopped and atel unch I picked up at a deli in Cambridge.
The trail is all crushed stone and I passed a covered bridge, some falls along the river, various old depots and lots of farms. The ride was chill and relaxing.
At 94 miles long, the LVRT is the longest rail trail in New England and connects 18 towns from St. Johnsbury to Swanton. The LVRT is a four-season, multi-purpose recreation and transportation corridor for walking, hiking, cycling, horseback riding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, dogsledding, and snowmobiling.
The LVRT provides important connections between recreational trails in Vermont and Canada including more regional trail systems like the VAST snowmobile trail network, Long Trail, Catamount Trail, Velomont, and Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail, as well as local trail connectors like Hardwick Trails, Three Rivers Bike Path, and Cambridge Greenway.
