The Trail hugs the Missisquoi River. VT 105 can be a noisy neighbor at times, but scenic views of the Missisquoi River rapids and Jay Peak make it all worthwhile. Artists often use this segment of the Trail to paint landscapes. In June, colorful wildflowers line the Trail.
Private homes abut the Trail near mile marker 10.5. Stay on the Trail and respect the privacy and property of trail neighbors. Use extra caution when crossing VT 105. Snowmobiles can connect to the VAST system near mile marker 11.3.
Lake Carmi Bicycle Loop -- Bicyclists who want to extend their trip can leave the Trail and travel on road around Lake Carmi using VT 120/Swamp Road/VT 236 (6 miles) or VT 120/VT 236 (15 miles).
The Abbey Restaurant is on the Trail near mile marker 10.75. The Abbey Restaurant offers water for filling bottles and makes its restrooms available to Trail users. The Abbey Restaurant permits trail users to park in their lot
except on Saturdays (accommodates trailers).
Parking is also available off North Sheldon Road next to the Trail and near the river (trailers).
A State parking area is available
1/4-mile east of the Trail on VT 105 (trailers).
