Average bike path, views are average. Bike paths are smaller. If you are looking to ride the bike with amazing views and better experience definitely Burlington bike path is much better where you will be riding close to the lake with amazing Mountain Views.

I was happy it was so accessible close to wear we stayed. My wife ran and walked on it every day. There were a lot of hearty locals out all the time, but they were great about wearing masks; much better mask usage by runners in Stowe than on the Burlington rec path! The occasional outhouse was much appreciated. If they could put one more on the north ending of the path, that would be even better. Thanks.

We rented bikes from AJ's and enjoyed an afternoon biking down the Rec Path, which brings you by brooks, corn fields (and a maze!), breweries, shops, horses... It was such a nice, relaxing way to enjoy Stowe. The path is paved and good for all biking levels. I went on a weekday, so it was not too busy; I imagine during peak season/weekends, this place could be crowded with bikers, walkers and joggers. Great activity for all skill levels and ages. It took us about 3-4 hours to leisurely bike most of the path (path is about 5.5miles each way), with stops along the way to take photos, eat ice cream, and sip cider.

This 5+ mile path meanders through many wooded areas north of the main street. It is just beautiful with lots of places to park, picnic or relax. Lots of benches allow for people to sit and rest.

We absolutely LOVED the Stowe Rec Path. We rented bikes from AJ's Bike Shop for 4 hours and did the entire trail (approx. 5.5 miles). The view was just stunning...we enjoyed every minute of it. We also took our backpacks and packed up sandwiches, snacks, and a water bottle. We stopped at one of the picnic areas to enjoy our meal, go to the bathroom, and chat for a while. I also packed my Go Pro so I could videotape a portion of our ride. We stopped and took a dip in the creek and stopped to do the corn maze and pet the goats/calves. And, we just stopped at various point of the trail to enjoy the view and nature.

This is an easy path just over 5 miles long with good views of Stowe. Starts alongside the famous church and continues along the river and through fields and woods. Lots of locals walking dogs and going for a stroll as well as tourists like us taking photos.

My wife and I walked along this trail with our Golden Retriever, who was leashed. Starting at the northern part of the trail, we enjoyed the river and countryside for probably a quarter of a mile.

Despite the recent rains, the trail was dry because the surface was asphalt.

Tip: Because of the high volume of bikes, keep to the right, including any dog, because it is sometimes difficult to hear these two wheelers coming. Everyone was courteous.

This is fully paved trail that runs a little over 5 miles. The grades are easy and the scenery is great. There are a number of bridges and the trail tends to be very busy. If you are looking to avoid the crowds earlier in the day may be your best bet.

The Stowe community is charming to be sure, but it’s also just lovely in every other way too. The Stowe Recreation Path, which wraps around the community in a nearly 5+mile loop, is fantastic and nicely maintained. It’s safe and easy to use, suited for walkers, cyclists, locals and visitors. I immediately felt more peaceful from the first step onto the path.

Scenic ride, along West Branch Little river, starting from behind the church in Stowe, crossing many small bridges, close to restaurants. Suitable for younger kids as well. Good for walking, biking and running as well. If time allows, take a detour and walk on the Quiet path next to the bike trail.
