Fairgrounds Trails Mountain Biking Trails

The trails accessible from the Fairgrounds Trailhead are entirely on private property. They are free, and open to the public through the landowner's generosity and their partnership with Slate Valley Trails, a 501(c)(3) and chapter of the Vermont Mountain Bike Association.

The trails are open to any non-motorized use including hiking, running, and snowshoeing.

The trails are well-designed to be climbed, durable, and have excellent rolling descents. There are a few longer loops that may take more stamina. The views are not bad either

Trail Use Guidelines
- Welcome sunrise to sunset

- Stay on marked trails... we went to a lot of trouble to build them
