A Legacy of Ancient Stone	Isle La Motte, VT	Lake Champlain	13.4 miles
A Legacy of Ancient Stone - 10.1 - Isle La Motte Following the perimeter of the Island, terrain is flat along a combination of paved and unpaved roads, all in good condition and all quiet. Traffic is minimal, in fact the loop is recommended for families. The recommended start/end point is St. Anne's Shrine on the west shore. Here, cyclists are welcome to visit the peaceful grounds or swim at the Shrine's sandy beach. Food, public restrooms, picnic tables, and parking are also available at the Shrine. Provisions are also available at a General Store. Lodging is available at B&B's along the route
Island Life	Grand Isle, VT	Lake Champlain	11.6 miles
Island Life, roams the backroads and shores of Grand Isle for a reflection of Island living, past and present. Pedal through an open field, and past the original one-room schoolhouse and the Hyde Log Cabin. A highlight along this path is an observation platform atop a low hill, affording an expansive view over the campground, across the "Inland Sea" and Mount Mansfield and the Green Mountain Ridgeline. You’ll return back to the ferry dock after your 11.6 mile ride. Highlighting history and Vermont’s natural resources, Island Life is a 12-mile tour through the heart of the island chain.  Visit the Gordon Center House, an 1824 Federal-style stone house built by the original ferry owner, Benjamin Bell.  Tour the Ed Weed Fish Culture Station with exhibits and fish runs where land-locked Atlantic salmon, brook, brown and rainbow trout, as well as lake trout and steelhead are raised to be stocked in waters statewide.  Stop by the Hyde Log Cabin, one of the oldest remaining log cabins in the United States.  Relax at the Grand Isle State Park. Take a swim, share a picnic or walk an interpretive trail to an observation platform with unbelievably beautiful views of the inland sea, Mount Mansfield and the Green Mountain Range.
Stone Castles	Grand Isle & South Hero, VT	Lake Champlain	13.4 miles
Stone Castles begins at the Grand Isle Ferry dock.  Tour South Hero on this 13-½ mile loop, where gardener Harry Barber created numerous miniature buildings from Vermont stone during the late 1920s until his death in 1966.  Today there are only five castles, three houses and several garden structures still in existence.  These wonderful works by Barber are on privately owned land, but can be viewed from the road.  Bring your binoculars to see detail, or to watch some of the abundant wildlife found on the island.

Liquid Elixir - 11.7 - Alburg, VT The loop begins your trip in Alburg Village at the Alburg Rail Trail. It then follows backcountry paved and unpaved roads through wetland areas. Traffic is minimal and terrain is relatively flat. There are no services along this loop, except in the Village.
A Trail to Two Beaches - 15.8 - Alburg & North Hero, VT This relatively flat "figure-8" loop connects two State parks, and may be shortened by riding only one of the circuits. By themselves, the Alburg circuit is 5.8 miles and the North Hero circuit is 9.3 miles. Great lake views abound. Traffic is minimal. Sections of the loop are unpaved (indicated on the map) however, generally they are in good condition and passable with a touring bike with fairly substantial tires. The recommended start/end point is at either Alburg Dunes State Park or North Hero State Park. Provisions, lodging, and parking are available in the Village of North Hero, just south of the loop on Route 2. If you do bicycle to North Hero, use caution on Route 2, as shoulders are narrow and traffic can be bothersome
