Description
The Lamoille River Walk follows a well-maintained, easy path along the south bank of the Lamoille River from Checkberry Square to Ritchie Ave. This route meanders through a mix of wooded areas and open wetlands, offering occasional loop segments depending on access points. The flat terrain and wide path make it accessible for all skill levels, with several benches and viewing areas along the way. Popular for birdwatching and fall foliage, the trail passes through diverse habitats where you may spot herons, ducks, and songbirds. The path is generally dry, though spring thaw or heavy rain can create muddy or flooded sections. The route is open year-round, but traction may be needed in icy winter conditions. This easy riverside trail offers a peaceful walk through natural wetlands with a strong sense of seasonal beauty.
