Stowe, Trapp Family Lodge Mountain Bike Trails

The Trapp Family Lodge mountain bike trails connect with an even more extensive Stowe trail network. These trails are aligned with the Stowe Trails Partnership, which manages three distinct trail pods: Cady Hill Forest, Adams Camp, and Sterling Forest (in addition to several connector trails, including Alex’s Trail in Dumont Meadow).  Each of these pods is distinct in character, with widely differing trails, views, and terrain. Many of the trails are situated on lands permanently protected under conservation easements held or managed by the Stowe Land Trust and owned by the Town of Stowe. E-Bikes are not currently allowed on our trails.
