Description

The Castleton University Trails exist due to a partnership between the University, the Town of Castleton, and Slate Valley Trails.  The trails are open to hiking, walking, running, mountain biking, and snowshoeing (when the snow falls).  Some folks cross-country ski on these trails, but it is generally not groomed for skiing.
