Fellowship of the Wheel maintains over 100 miles of trails in Chittenden County. Those trails are spread across ten distinctive networks with terrain for all ages and abilities.
While most maps can be found at trailhead kiosks, we recommend Trailforks, a trail database and map repository.
It is important to note that Trailforks is free crowd-sourced service, so we do not have control over everything that is posted on it. Some unsanctioned trails may be present, so riding is at your own risk. Â Trailforks also provides free smartphone apps, which you can use for navigation while out on the trail.
Our networks would not exist were it not for the generous landowners who allow us to use their property, both public and private. Please remember to treat the land, neighbors, and other users with respect when you are out on the trails. This includes traveling to and from parking areas, activity in parking lots, and use of the trails.
Please refrain from riding wet trails! Check out our Conditions page for detailed trail status updates.

Hinesburg, Vermont
The Hinesburg Town Forest boasts 18 miles of singletrack spread through 850 acres. The history of the land includes early 20th-century farming and you can occasionally see old rock walls, foundations, wells, apple trees, and other signs of a bygone era. Trails are primarily âold-school rake-and-rideâ and are therefore quite challenging. There are very limited options for beginner and intermediate riders. Set in the middle of three contiguous networks, the Hinesburg Town Forest is an excellent jumping off point for some of the longest, most challenging rides in VT. Head up and over to the incredible Carse Hills trails to the south or climb up to the Butternut Cabin at Sleepy Hollow to the north. The Hinesburg Town Forest is also very popular for hiking, snowshoeing, and hunting, with occasional permitted use of ATVâs and equestrians on the town-maintained Eagle Trail.
