2023 Annual Giving Campaign Completed!

Dear Mad River Path Community,

We have met and exceeded our annual giving goal by raising $108,000 with support from 215 individual and corporate donors.

This holiday season, we express our deep gratitude to the Path Community: landowners, who generously share their land with the public, donors, who make the Path possible, volunteer stewards, who keep the trails beautiful, and the rest of the community who maintain their wellbeing by using the Mad River Path!

Misha Golfman,
Executive Director

MRP Adventures: Chic-Chocs backcountry trip

Join Mad River Path on a Hut-to-Hut cross-country ski trip in winter paradise!

Chic-Chocs, the furthest northeastern Appalachians rise above the Gulf of St Lawrence, forming a vast upland Plato, that receives three hundred inches of snow, thanks to a dramatic compilation of climatic factors. Parc National de la Gaspesie offers a system of cozy huts that allows us to cross-country ski into the depths of this enchanted northern wilderness while enjoying the warmth of the wood stove and fire-cooked meals at night. Expect deep powder, encounters with moose, and northern lights if we are lucky! You don’t need to be an expert backcountry skier to enjoy this foray into the Winter Wonderland but be able to ski 10 kilometers a day at an easy pace, with a light pack.


bringing back a long standing valley tradition!

This year, The Mad Dash has evolved into the Mad River Triathlon, bringing back a long-standing Valley tradition! Mad River Triathlon is a four-sports event set in picturesque Mad River Valley, VT. The running race starts at the Warren School and follows the Mad River Path and VT 100. Visit the following page to learn more about the event and to register!


vt-100 multi-use path vision

October 4th, 2023

Mad River Path announced plans for a multi-use path extending from Warren to Moretown!

Imagine a brilliant October morning in the not-so-distant future. A wide and well-graded Path runs the length of the Valley. In some places, it parallels VT 100, and in others, it meanders through adjacent meadows. Along the Path, groups of children are riding scooters to school, a young parent is pushing a stroller, morning commuters are biking to work, an older couple is on their way to the grocery store on e-bikes, and a group of tourists is rolling their bikes to a rack in front of the trail-side farm stand.

This is the Mad River Path of the future, a VT100 Multi-Use Path extending from Warren to Moretown!
