The Long Trail System (Long Trail and all side trails) along with several other trail systems on state lands have been closed to reduce the spread of the Corona virus and to protect the trails during mud season, and we ask you to stay off other portions of these trails not on state lands. Please recreate close to home (places you can walk to or bicycle to from your home). The complete statement on the trail closures is here, the GMC page on its COVID 19 response is here, and the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation page is here.
