A TRULY UNIQUE VERMONT EXPERIENCE
The Millstone Trails are an outstanding network of multi-use trails traversing the historic quarry lands of Millstone Hill. The trails
Our 70+ miles of trails traverse 1,500 acres of diverse and dramatic terrain, among historic quarries, New England villages, and regenerating forests. The Millstone Trails network is divided into three main sections. Each of these three areas provide different recreational and scenic opportunities.
The Barre Town Forest is home to the oldest of the Millstone Trails.
Gnome Man’s Land has trails purpose built for adventurous mountain biking.
The Canyonlands have the quietest and most contemplative feel.
While exploring the trails, be sure to enjoy the unique features of the Millstone areas including: scenic vistas of the Green Mountains from towering grout (waste granite) piles, dramatic quarries now filled with turquoise water, and relics from the old quarrying days. In honor of the area’s past, there are wooden signs along the trails that tell about the quarries’ history, providing a learning experience along with your ride. Keep your eyes open for the unique sculptures and friezes carved into the stone piles and walls along the trails. The Millstone Trails are made possible because of the generous recreational access offered by the Town of Barre and Rock of Ages quarry corporation.

Millstone offers some of the most technical single-track mountain biking in New England.
Millstone Trails Association is a non-profit organization that maintains the Millstone Trails network of non-motorized recreational trails in Central Vermont. Buy your pass, find maps and park at the Millstone Hill Touring Center at 34 Church Hill Road in Websterville.
