Old Long Trail

Discover

Old Long Trail is a trail in Chittenden County, Vermont, offering travelers a straightforward reason to spend time outdoors on foot. Its name has a memorable, almost story-like rhythm, but the appeal of a trail visit is often simpler: leave room in the day for a walk and let the experience unfold at a comfortable pace.

A good outing starts with matching your plans to your time and energy. Think about how long you want to be out, and check current route and access information before setting off. That small bit of preparation makes it easier to choose a suitable plan without turning the visit into a race to cover ground. If you are traveling with others, agreeing on a shared pace can make the walk more enjoyable for everyone.

On the trail, pay attention to the details that naturally come into view as you move: changing light, patterns underfoot, and the way a path draws your attention forward. These are simple pleasures of walking, not a checklist to complete. Pause where appropriate, keep your footing in mind, and be considerate of others sharing the route. A visit need not be long or ambitious to feel like a welcome break from time spent in a vehicle or indoors.

For travelers exploring Vermont, Old Long Trail can fit into a day shaped around being outside, whether it is the main plan or a shorter stop along the way. Let the walk set the pace rather than expecting a particular kind of outing. With a little planning and an unhurried approach, the trail offers a chance to enjoy time on foot in Chittenden County.
