Tips from the community

Stark Mountain Trail is a 2.5-mile hike located in Mad River Glen, Vermont. The trail follows a wide and well-established "work road" that leads to the summit of General Stark Mountain, which sits at an elevation of 2,036 feet. Along the way, hikers will be treated to scenic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, including a large waterfall and the Birdland area. The trail can be considered moderately challenging due to the steep vertical gain, but it is a popular hike that takes an average of 1 to 1.5 hours to complete.
