History of West River TrailThe Lower Section of the West River Trail is a 3.7 mile pathway on the bed of the former West River Railroad. The trail begins in Brattleboro near the Marina restaurant (follow Spring Tree Rd north from the Marina Parking lot .2 mile to trailhead) and follows the West River to the trailhead on Rice Farm Road. The trail is flat, well drained, and some sections have been surfaced with stone dust.
