Stowe Recreation Path (National Recreation Trail, VT)

June 19th, 2023.

5.3-mile paved bikepath beginning in Stowe and ending north along 108 by Brook Road.

Lovely trail going in and out of woods, sometimes with views of nearby Mansfield. There are ten numbered and charming wood-planked bridges to cross, and also shops and ice-cream/food opportunities along the way. I saw people of all ages walking, jogging, roller-blading, and biking.

Stowe is pure New England gorgeousness, so I had a lovely time walking this path along the most Vermont-y of Vermont landscapes.

I’ve done a lot of bike paths lately – the National Recreation Trails have everything from bike paths to rugged mountain trails to desert paths. The variety is why I like the list.
