A perfect family outing

Start with a quick lap on the Campground Loop before heading down the new Silver Moose trail. An easy rolling 3 miles will bring you to Silver Lake, one of Vermont's hidden gems. A pristine lake free of development other than the National Forest campsites and the picnic area. Rest, swim, picnic before hopping back on your bikes and returning to the Moosalamoo Campground. A total of 7 easy rolling miles with moderate elevation gain is a great moderate ride for the whole family.
