Staytripper in mid-2020, the monthly supplement has offered suggestions for safely rediscovering in-state recreation during the pandemic. In this special edition, it s less road map, more trail map. Grab your helmet and go with the flow it s the mountain biking issue! Mountain biking has been picking up speed in Vermont over the past decade. Like maple syrup, fall foliage and Ben & Jerry s, the sport has become one more Green Mountain State standout. As Bike magazine puts it, Vermont is one of the friendliest places in the universe to ride dirt. It s poised to become even friendlier: This summer, riders will break ground on the new Velomont Trail, which aims to connect existing networks from the bottom of the state to the top.
Proposed Velomont Trail & Hut Network in southern Vermont. More than 84 percent of land in Vermont is private, which means that landowners are key partners in developing mountain-bike-specific and multi-use trail networks in the state. Kingdom Trails in northern Vermont, for example, exists on the properties of nearly 100 private landowners. Three withdrew their trails from that network in December 2019. In a statement at the time, Kingdom Trails acknowledged that challenges and tension points exist around traffic, congestion and pedestrian safety of residents and visitors alike. The Velomont Trail would rely on the goodwill of landowners, as well as partnerships with state and federal foresters, like Knox, who manage Vermont s public lands.
