The Future of the Mad River Path

Over twenty years ago a group of Mad River Valley visionaries began talking about creating a continuous trail system that would stretch from Warren to Moretown, connecting the communities, schools, recreation areas and centers of commerce. Ideally, the new path would stay as close to the Mad River as possible and be pedestrian-friendly, accommodating walkers, runners, bicyclists, snowshoers and cross-country skiers. Read more...

The 20th Anniversary Benefit Bash is HISTORY!
Posted 6/3/07

The dust has settled on the Pavilion at the Lareau Farm Inn, and over 150 friends and supporters of the Mad River Path ate well, danced with wild abandon and bid fabulous amounts of money on our spectacular collection of over 35 silent auction items. Thank you to those who attended our celebration, and from all of the positive feedback we have received it looks like the Bash will become an annual Spring Rite of Passage!

As we begin our 20th year, it is with a high degree of hope that this will be the year that we put our first legal easements together. The towns of Warren and Fayston are both eagerly awaiting the completion of the new easement document that our Landowner Relations Committee has been working on for several months. We are planning on offering several options to those who own land along our current and proposed Path routes and we are looking forward to a future that includes a reality of permanent trails and greenways for the Mad River Valley.

This summer will be a busy one for the Path. We have a lot of work to do – clearing brush, cutting water bars, taking apart old bridges, building new ones, and getting ready for our 12th Mad Dash Race on September 23rd. As always, we welcome new members, new volunteers and new energy. Join us!
