Lamoille Valley Rail Trail Across Northern Vermont is
New England’s Longest Rail Trail
At 93 miles long, the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail (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 trail runs right through Lamoille County, including the towns of Wolcott, Morrisville, Hyde Park, Johnson and Jeffersonville and Cambridge.

RAIL TRAIL OPENINGS
The LVRT sustained serious damage during the July 2023 flooding, and the middle segment remains closed as crews actively work to rebuild the trail. AOT will reopen an additional 23.2 miles of that middle section this Saturday, September 15th, 2023 at 7 a.m.
