Summer Activities
Meander through the tucked away trails of the Craftsbury Woodlot, rip around the singletrack bike trails at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, explore the many miles of peaceful gravel roads on your bike or dip your paddle (or toes!) in one of Craftsbury’s many ponds — Summer is a great time to get outside!
Remember to recreate responsibly when you are out on the trails.
