I did this walk with my husband a few years ago on a crisp sunny fall day. I didn't really know what to expect, and it was exceptional; a really beautiful experience. Easy walking so you're not huffing and puffing your way around and can focus on the scenery and the poems

If timing is in your favor, as it was for us, you will have quiet time to wonder the trail and truely reflect on words that move your soul. Robert Frost had a way with words that pulled you into his world and let you experience "his place" in your time! Each station is thoughtfully layed out with time to... More

This very well maintained trail is accessible to all ages and has wheel chair access as well. Robert Frost's poems are nicely presented on the trail at appropriate spots. The trail very nicely ties the poems to the landscape. Don't miss it.

Posted along the trail are various RF poems. It's fun to stop and read them and think of RF himself walking in these woods. Well-marked trail, easy walk.

We had read about the 1 mile loop trail and decided to do the hike. It's obvious there are 2 Robert Frost Trails. We stopped at the small Robert Frost (house)/museum off the road to the left on our drive to Manchester, Vermont. It, however, was a 2.7 mile one way trail of moderate difficulty. Assuming this is the 1... More

This short trail is located just east of East Middlebury with a parking lot along the highway. It makes a nice one hour stop with a chance for a break from driving. The trail is very flat through a hardwood forest and some meadows. There our sign posts along the way with Robert Frost poems and pointing out various tree... More

I thought the views might be blocked with the mid-summer foliage out but we were in the area so decided to visit. The blueberry bushes have prevented the trees from coming up so there were still good views and lots of wild blueberries to eat. Even though I'm not a poetry fan, I enjoyed reading the poems in this peaceful... More
