Trail Updates

See our Trails Page for trail description and map.

–Update: As of Jan 2026, parking is currently not available at Camelot Village!

–New Trail Open: Zaphod’s Run! Hike to a gorgeous lookout with an expansive view of Bennington. Visit the Trails page for an updated map.

-Trails Conditions:  Avoid when wet or thawing. Using them during this fragile time damages trails and makes more work for our volunteers. See Freeze/Thaw info.

-BLOWDOWNS- Report with approximate trail location (or Trailforks screenshot), photo, rough diameter of tree, and something in photo for scale to BATSVT@Gmail.com

-TRAIL WORK Days: Posted when possible on our GroupMe Text App, E-News or Facebook.

Thanks for all your help!
