This was a very nice path, which offered a good opportunity for me to exercise as vigorously as I wanted. The path offered beautiful views, fresh air and I thoroughly enjoyed my 5 mile walk.

This is a nice way to kill an hour outdoors through some beautiful scenery. Not too crowded either, which makes it nice. I think because it is so short, you get more of the meandering family riders. Generally a nice path.

Great dedicated path. Perfect for a family bike ride and close to both hotels and attractions. We took out a tandem bike and had a blast. It's a great way to spend an hour or so.

This has more scenic views than the Burlington Rec Path...Longer, and less crowded too. I loved to be able to take in the scenery, from the babbling brooks, background historical markers, and backdrop of the mountains and city. Great for bikers, walkers, roller bladers.

I just love to take my bike out on the path since it is so picturesque and the hills are slight. You go over little bridges at times. Along the way there are benches and you can go over to the water and skip rocks. There is a sculpture gallery along the way with lots of outside sculptures to enjoy.... More

Amazing path to rollerblade or bike with your dog. I was able to rollerblade with my husky on this path without much traffic early morning. There is grass on the side of the path where my dog ran on instead of the pavement. Wonderful views of Stowe.

The paved rec path can get quite busy in the summer, so if you have dogs, start at the bottom end of it next to the church in town or there's more parking down by the Cemetery Road... there you will find the grass Quiet Path which is an offshoot of the rec path (no bikes or rollerbladers!) and you...
