Description

The St. Johnsbury Town Forest offers an opportunity to access a forested walk or a riverside stroll just outside of the downtown district. The Blue Trail heads to the right from the Logging Road and follows the Moose River to a couple beautiful viewpoints. The Logging Road, Yellow Trail, White Trail and Red Trail all head up the hill through both coniferous and hardwood forests. The Logging Road is a wider trail with a more gradual grade while the other trails are narrow with steep sections. Multiple loop options are available using connector trails.

As of 2021, singletrack mountain bike trails are also being planned for the town forest.
