Welcome to the West River Trail in Southern Vermont.

The WRT is a 36-mile scenic (former railbed) all-season trail through the West River Valley. When connected, sections of the trail will link Brattleboro, Dummerston, Newfane, Townshend, Jamaica and South Londonderry. 

Maps are available for the Lower and Upper Sections. Created by West River Trail cartographer, Jeff Nugent, the maps explore all sections of the trail. Click on the links below to view on your smartphone, or print out and take with you.
