Biking in Vermont: It’s almost a state sport. And you can be part of the action when you stay at the Lake Morey Resort in the hills of Fairlee, VT. The resort has a special arrangement with Vermont Bikes & Brews to provide discounted bike rentals to guests. You can bike five miles around the shore of lovely Lake Morey, or seek out other nearby bike trails. (The front desk will be happy to help you find the perfect trail.) Some go across the Connecticut River, others send you through pastures and meadows and over hills. There are trails for beginners as well as advanced bikers. Or you can get a discounted rental for an e-bike and go on a self-guided four-hour tour.
Delaware & Hudson Rail Trail

Along local roads Castleton and Poultney, West Pawlet and Rupert, VT Phone:

This bike trail, on a former railroad bed, is 20 miles long and divided into two sections. The two sections in Vermont are separated by a length of trail in New York State. The Vermont sections stretch between between Castleton and Poultney, and between West Pawlet and Rupert. The trail passes through pretty countryside and there are places along the trail to have a picnic, fish, and stop for refreshments at stores.
The trail is open to walkers, bicyclists and horseback riders, snowshoers, skiers and snowmobiles. Trail access for the northern section is at Castleton State College or along Main Street in Castleton and in Poultney village adjacent to the old train station on Depot Street. Trail access for the southern section is at West Pawlet village on Egg Street and at the connection of Route 153 and Hebron Road.
