Community canoe and e-bike lending
A reminder as the days get longer that Mad River Path has a couple of community resources for getting outside and engaging in non-vehicular travel or recreation.
Our canoe lending program allows you to borrow canoes for the day, weekend, school program, or other purpose. Read more about canoe lending on our website.
Thanks to a grant from VTrans, Mad River Path has three cargo e-bikes for use by the community. Come try out the different kinds of e-bikes to see what you like best, run some errands around town, or just take a spin.
Mad River Path merch is here!
