The Castleton University Trails exist due to a partnership between the University, the Town of Castleton, and Slate Valley Trails. The trails are open to hiking, walking, running, mountain biking, and snowshoeing (when the snow falls). Some folks cross-country ski on these trails, but it is generally not groomed for skiing.
Slate Valley Trails (SVT) is a volunteer community group founded in 2015. SVT is a registered non-profit organization and a chapter of the Vermont Mountain Biking Association (VMBA).
The SVT mission is to build, maintain and promote foot and bicycling trails in the Slate Valley region of southwestern Vermont.
Our goals are to:
1) Build community among local individuals, organizations and businesses.
2) Support the local economy by promoting the region as a place to visit, with improved access to trails.
3) Encourage the positive health benefits of being active outdoors.
