Elizabethtown

Explore Elizabethtown and find there really is something for everyone!  The trails range in difficulty from lowland cruisers to technical, challenging single track.  Summit viewpoints provide breathtaking views of the Giant Mountain Range, Lake Champlain and Vermont’s Green Mountains. 

​Two trail networks – Blueberry Hill Trails and Otis Mountain - flank the sides of Elizabethtown, allowing for an easy trip (by bike or by car) into town for refueling or for post-ride refreshments at one of the local businesses.

Trail Beta

Elizabethtown is quickly becoming a destination for recreational trail users.  Over 24 miles of trails are already developed for mountain biking, trail running and skiing, and plans for additional trails are in various stages of development.

The Blueberry Hill Trail system is a network of multi-use trails on town-owned property.  Directly adjacent to Blueberry is a new project undertaken by local riders and community advocates.  The “Elizabethtown Mt. Bike and Climbers Ranch” will add approximately 325 acres of access, a cliff system and fantastic 360-degree views to the already scenic town system. 

On the south side of town, Otis Mountain is a privately owned 1940’s ski hill that has evolved into a challenging trail network.  Directly adjacent to the Otis Mountain trail system is another 425 acres of private property made available by a strong community supporter.  Trails have been built on this property already, with more in the works.

In low snow years, riding can be possible year round in Elizabethtown with studded tires.  And when there is snow, pack your skis!  The Elizabethtown trails also tend to dry out earlier in the spring compared to other trail systems in the region. 

​The local riders are proud of the trails that they have developed and are happy to welcome others to the trails.  Thursday night group ride at Blueberry meets around 6 PM from the first parking area off of Bronson Way and almost always is followed by a fire and potluck grilling session.  Sunday morning group ride at Otis Mountain (AKA Dirt Church) meets at 9 AM on Sundays.
