The Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, when completed, will be New England's longest year-round recreational trail designed with non-motorized uses in mind, and as such will have major economic as well as recreational benefits to Vermont.
News from FLVRT: St Johnsbury's Three Rivers Transportation Path still in the planning process... Report finds that active outdoor recreation is more than Just Big Fun, it's huge economic driver... |
Our Mission: -- To support the development, maintenance, and promotion of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail as a public resource offering a tranquil and scenic year-round multi-use recreation and transportation corridor; and especially to represent the interests of non-motorized trail users. |
The Friends of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, Inc. (FriendsLVRT) was chartered and incorporated in the early summer of 2006, following a meeting in March 2006 by The Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition to bring together people interested in supporting the development of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail (LVRT). The motivation for these interests originated in an act passed by the Vermont General Assembly in June of 2003 (Section 17 of Act 56) directing that the State owned railroad corridor comprised of over 93 miles of rail bed running from St. Johnsbury to Swanton, Vermont be converted to a multi-use recreational path / trail that shall be leased to and managed by the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers, Inc. (VAST). Currently VAST is working under a Management Plan with Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) to make this railroad to recreation trail conversion. (continued...) |
