Find a Trail in Vermont

The VHC Trail Connection connects riders and drivers with information on the many wonderful horse trails in Vermont open to the public. You can click on the interactive map below to find trails in your area, or peruse the list of trails next to the map.

We have recently added some dirt road rides to the list. These can be ridden in the summer, but are particularly ideal for mud season and hunting season when you might want to stay off the trails.

We hope to continue to expand this trail list. You can help by informing us of trails you know of that are not on this list (trails open to the public).

VHC is partnering with a Vermont organization, Horse Trail Chicks, which publishes very detailed information on riding trails on their website, run by two current VHC Board members. Some of the links below go directly to their trails page.
