Stratton Recreation Area
The Stratton Recreation Area was made possible through partnership with the Town of Stratton, The community of Stratton and SoVTA. The Rec area feature ball fields, volleyball courts, picnic areas and multi-use trails. The first two adaptive/family friendly multi-use trails have been built and we are currently working on an act250 amendment for several other trails and improvements for the gathering areas on the property. We hope to begin phase two of the project in the summer of 2026.
The new trails on the property were made possible through a $17,500 RTP grant though VT forest, park and rec and several hundred volunteer hours.
Crosstown
The Trails at Crosstown are made possible though a partnership with Vail Resorts and SoVTA. The trails on the south side of the property are adaptive/family friendly while the trails on the north side are are still legacy trails and adaptive user may require assistance. We will be working to eliminate all adaptive choke points during the spring of the 2025 season.
The rehabilitation of crosstown has bene made possible trough VMBA Trail Grants, a grant from the Northern Forest Center and hundreds of volunteer hours.
Stratton Town Forest
The Stratton Town Forest was made possible through a partnership with Stratton Select Board and SoVTA. Phase 1 of the project was executed with grants from The Lyman Orton Foundation and the Vermont Community Foundation as well as over a 1000 volunteer hours.
There is only an 8 car lot that serves this property, so please have a plan B if the lot is full.
Please be aware the part of the VAST Trail is shared with the snowmobilers of VAST. Safety is a primary concern on these shared stretches of trail. Snowmobilers cannot hear, and frequently cannot see, skiers and snowshoers before they come upon them. When skiing these shared stretches stay alert and be prepared to step off the Trail at any time to allow snowmobiles to pass. Ski single file and to the side of the snowmobile trail. Keep dogs leashed.
