With over 20 miles of trails and loops ranging from 5k to 15k, the Catamount Outdoor Family Center is ideal for any skill level. The property is 8 miles east of Burlington and situated on two hills, making way for panoramic views of the Green Mountains and the Winooski River Valley in the East and the Adirondacks and Lake Champlain in the West.
The Blue Trail is flatter than some of the other trails and starts in a grassy field that eventually progresses through the enchanting, leaf-strewn, woodland area.
Notes: the center has an $8 daily use fee. Trail running not encouraged in winter, in order to keep the trails in good shape for nordic skiing.
Local Tip: Stop at Adams Apple Orchard on Old Stage Road in Williston for an apple cider slushy on the way home!

Fantastic running on the Lake Champlain Islands, just north of Burlington. Lake & mountain views, rolling farmland. We've mapped several routes and pointed out the prettiest sections in South Hero, Grand Isle, North Hero, Alburgh, and Isle La Motte.
