Description
The Mud Pond East loop was built in the fall of 2002 by the Fellowship Of The Wheel
for the town of Williston. This a 3 mile loop, with an additional extension 1.5 mile
loop on the southern side that was added during the 2003 season. The lower half of the Mud Pond loop is a great place for beginning mountain bikers to get accustomed to single-track. The upper half of the loop is intermediate with some more challenging sections. The top (highest point) of the Mud Pond East Loop also marks the beginning of the Lake Iroquois connector which is approximately 6 miles of fun challenging single-track which ends at the Lake Iroquois parking lot.

Review: Mud Pond was a blast to ride on with a good mix of what I’d call “fun technical.” The terrain wasn’t too challenging but was enough to keep you bouncing and thinking while riding along – I strongly recommend the full 4.1 mile loop and taking some good eyes on some of the descents. FOTW does great work, especially the winding boardwalk and some of the berms on the downhill portions. This is a great ride for those “touring Vermont’s trails.” Add it in with Saxon Hill and other locals for a full day of singeltrack!

Review: Another great trail for a quick ride. This one has an awesome downhill after the 15 minute climb to the top. The optional Advanced loop is fun too. Rolling really well and in good shape this year. Great for the beginner, but still fun for the more advanced rider.
**Update** Lots of new work on this trail, including lots of bridges, berms, and some kickers for fun stuff. Definitely check out the work being done by the Fellowship. Look for new trails possibly being added to the network as well.* Review edited 7/22/2010

Review: Finally able to sit down and write a quick review here. For those who haven't been on it, it's mostly fairly easy to bike through, that is as long as you can handle roots.
Edit: After learning how to climb much more efficiently, the roots tend not to slow me down as much, also this time around I had time to do the "advanced" section of the trail the Fellow of The Wheel added on a couple years back. Pretty sweet I have to say, and as always, the VAST doubletrack that is downhill rocks.

Review: A good 30 to 45 minute ride. Mostly uphill the first 20 minutes. Then a good downhill section the rest of the way. Good beginner trail.
