This 1.5-mile path connects the villages, providing access to virtually all services in Irasville and Waitsfield. Starting at the Mad River Green Trailhead follow the well-marked Path North to the Boardwalk through an active beaver meadow with access to Lawsons Finest Liquids. Turn right on Carrol Rd, cross VT-100. From here continue on the sidewalk and turn right at the Maclay Architects building. The path will lead you to the top of the old Earthen dam, dating back to the ice-cutting era. You will emerge at Bridge Street Park with its unique compilation of a town beach, a picturesque covered bridge, and quaint cafes and boutiques. From Bridge Steet Park turn left and follow the signs through the Bridge Steet shopping and dining area. Turn right on the Main Street towards the General Wait House, where the Path ends.
