It’s not often you get the chance to know that you’re watching a success story from the very beginning, but towns like Poultney, VT are not especially common. It’s in a somewhat forgotten corner of a state that is front loaded with amazing places to ride your bike in the woods, but what Poultney and Slate Valley Trails are building out is a massive network of trails with a focus on community growth and sustainability, and they’ve been doing that from the start. When you combine a tranquil and stunning landscape with one of the country’s best trail builders and community leaders who know a thing or two about advocacy and economic development, you get a place that might be somewhat late to the proverbial trail party, but one that is more than willing to raise the bar moving forward.
