Description: This place is not to be confused with the Camp Johnson trails, however they are both connected depending on which trials you take. This trail is actually maintained by the FOTW, so it is a legal trail and you will not be hassled. Everything is labeled clearly so you won't be getting lost. Great trails for being so closed to the city. Recommended for just about every skill level.

I loved this place, even when it was a bit wet. Came up from rooty and rocky MA to enjoy some smooth VT, and this was it! Great flow to the easily navigatable trails, with a healthy does of climbing and descending. Switchbacks were rad, as were the berms, and the woodwork all over the place was terrific. I can't wait to hit it in the spring when dry and really enjoy it!

A pretty interesting network maintained by Fellowship of the Wheel. Something for almost everyone. Small stunts, bridges, some killer switchbacks (super tight), and some great singletrack with tons of flow. F.O.T.W. has marked everything very clearly. Hard to get lost if you stay on the marked system. It is easy, however, to venture into the Camp Johnson section of trail which is not well marked and can drop you on the base if you aren't careful. EDIT - FOTW has done some maintenance lately and improved the riding a bit. Some of the bridges have been widened (not by much) and the berms/ switchbacks have been made more user friendly. They rerouted a section of trail formerly known as Heart-attack hill so it can be ridden in both directions.

Fun for an hour or so of riding, if you include the Camp Johnson trails. The FOTW has really improved the place and continues to do so.

Whoa, this was pretty neat, it's been a while since I've been on this trail. But now I'm on it all the time again. From what I understand, pre-9/11 this trail was just public and anybody rode on it, once 9/11 hit the people at Camp Johnson got a little freaked out and kinda closed the areas off, now the Fellowship of The Wheel has taken over and its public again. From beginner (East Loop) to expert (Moose Hill, Teardrop Loop), this place is great for all, I find it a nice place to train, being it's so close by. Just a heads up, it is a shared trail, so watch out for occasional hikers.
