Whether you walk, ski, or ride, a trip on the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail takes you into the heart of Northern Vermont's agricultural open lands. The Trail wanders through the farms, forests, fields, and wetlands of Franklin County at a railroad's pace -- slow, steady grades with sweeping bends. For the full length of the Trail, you'll see the postcard images of Vermont you've grown to love. You'll also see the families and working landscapes that created and support this spectacular scenery. Please respect the privacy and property of the Trail's neighbors at all times and keep the Trail free of trash and debris.
The Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail is a public resource. Keeping each other safe is everyone's responsibility. Good rules of thumb include yielding to the slowest user and yielding to livestock and other animals.
Agricultural crossings are a historic part of the Trail's rural experience -- watch your step or walk your bicycle at these crossings to avoid mud splatters.
Horses are permitted on the Trail but must travel near the shoulder whenever possible. Horse and pet owners should remove animal waste from the trail surface. Pet owners must have control of their animals at all times.
If you observe violations of law while on the Trail, we urge you to report them to the Vermont State Police by calling (802) 524-5993.
