We love the bike path but wish it were a little longer. Takes us 45 minutes to complete the path one way. Very scenic and beautiful though. Lots of places to stop for photos along the way. More

Another fine Dump. Here's some advice for Stowe's doggie set: Bring a pooper scooper and a plastic bag. The rec path is 4 miles of doggie catbox and smells like it. This town is pathetic. More
