I ride in North Western Vermont. We've got a lot of area where we ride. Whenever the snow leaves we are working on a new trail system (with permission of course). If you know of any good areas where it is okay to ride feel free to drop me a line. Thanks.

josh,
unfortunatly I only get up to VT a few times a year.Due to the long ride 4hrs I limit myself to north east side; caladonia county, St. Johnsbury
area, I have friends in this area. We have about 8 of us who get together to ride mainly privite land and the secondary roads,but we heard word that there is a trail system from St. J to Island pond. We will be up there memorial day weekend looking into it. My state has very little riding areas(mostly privite)out by back door I have access to 1000 acres which isnt much. We need more rights to ride the state lands throughout the U.S. we as tax payers pay for this land,we as tax payers should get to use this land!!! Back to the trails question When I get back from VT I will post any trail system I hear of.

2000 xplor 400 4x4
2000 warn winch (a must)
delta 2 v-force reeds
many other acces.

 

Come on 14 views someone must know some legal riding areas!Or perhaps a web sight we can go to like Mass. has.

 

Thanks for the response. It's very unfortunate that Vt. doesn't have more places to ride. I have "heard" about the Island Pond trail, but I'm not aware if it is an "official" trail or not. I know they are very scarce. We ride a lot on private land (with permission), and there are a few back roads that we go on (no one seems to mind). There are a ton of snowmobile trails that we COULD go on, but most land owners don't want ATV's on them so we obviously don't. Just 15 minutes north of my house is the Canadian border, and there they have a massive trail system, but we would have to get the quads registered in order to drive them up there. Oh well, looks like we'll have to make do with what we have, it could be better, but it could also be worse. Thanks again for the reply.

Hi Josh, We ride in milton from our back yards and someone also told me about eagles ledge that runs near Eden down to Barre. We also ride up in your neck of the woods. my buddy has a camp on gebou road in montgomey and another friend has a camp in Belvediere just up the road from tall mans store so we ride the bog road alot. I heard that for $15. you can join a club called Green mountain trail riders and ride any of the trails and also alot of the roads to get to the trails. What kind of bikes do you have? we should hook up some week-end.

 

Josh We go up to canada and ride I live in st. albans where we ride up there is about a 1/2 hr from my house. you have to join the club up there but it is cheap and they groom the trail's.

 

Hey GreenMtnGrizz and VtMagnum,

Thanks for the replies guys. I just moved to St.Albans last summer so I guess that I'm pretty close to both of you. I ride in Montgomery and Belvidere mostly though. Grizz, my parents house is the last house on the right before you get the the Gibou road. That is usually the road that we go to get to all of the trails that we ride on. I know of Tallmans store, and the Bog Road comes out just above my one of my riding buddies' house. We went riding up there a few times, but we couldn't make it all the way up on either of the two trails that we tried. There are normally three of us that ride together. I ride a '98 Polaris Sport 400L, my friend Matthew rides a '98 Banshee, and my friend Andy rides a '85 200x 3-Wheeler (which is currently up for sale). We are all 2x4, but we do pretty good. You can check out pic's and stuff if you click on the link at the bottom of my messages. Have you ever been on the trail that goes from Belvidere to The Gibou road in Montgomery? It get's prett wild in the spring time. We'll deffinatly have to hook up some time. I'm not sure if you can have other people join you in Milton, but if you are ever up in Montgomery let me know. My email address is jlanphear@globalnetisp.net if either of you guys want to ride together now that we have finally gotten rid of that stupid snow. Thanks again for the response. Take care.

-Josh

 

Hey Magnum,

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any more info about the club you joined or how I could find out more about it? Thanks for the great info. I didn't know it was that easy.

Finally seeing significant noise from No. Vermont on here.

The club you speak of is the "Green Mtn. 4 Wheel Drive Club". I've talked with them and they say some ATV's do ride along with them. I asked them specifically about Eagles Ledge. Sounds like a good ride.

Click here for the club website

I also do most of my riding in Canada. Easily do 60-70 miles a day taking numerous stops, gas and lunch breaks. Its worth the $25/day or $85/year Canadian funds. The trails are closed for the thaw from 3/15 till 5/15. We'll be going back on 5/19. Anyone interested can email me. Our group is normally 5 to 12 ATV's and, as I remember, all serious mud holes have "chicken routes". Its only 30 minutes or so north of the border. Click down below to see pictures of rides from Nov. and Feb.

GreenMountnGrizz, I keep my ATV's in Milton. Do a little riding in an area off from Lake Rd. Have you ever ridden that sandy area across from the Milton Diner? If so, is there much riding? Trying to find a nice easy area I can take my 8 year old son.

Some of us are planning on going to NH to ride with the NH ATV club on a ride up the Mt. Washington toll road on 6/2.

Gibou Rd. wild in springtime?? I visit a camp up there during deer season. You follow a mile long line of female mannequin heads stuck in the trees to get to the camp. Have to kick beer cans out of the way to get in the door. Then drive out in 4WD low hoping not to wind up in a ditch.

I think that place is wild all year long!?
