16 miles are now rail trails. I rode the short but scenic first 3 1/2 mile section out of Brattleboro.
Trail Head runs through a corn field |
There is a slight detour up the riverbank hill to avoid construction on the I-91 Bridge... |
...but most of the rest of the trail is quite scenic |
Peak upriver |
Sections run a little further away from the riverbank over slight embankments through marshy areas |
The first section ends at this road (ALL TOO SHORT!) |
Apparently you could continue of this road for a few miles to connect with the other section of the rail trail |
