Waterford Loop
Waterford
What to Expect:
This is one of our least hilly routes! Starting near the confluence of the Passumpsic and Connecticut Rivers, you’ll enjoy a nice mix of shaded gravel roads and open pastoral views along with some exciting descents!
Please note: For some reason, Ride With GPS has both Daniel’s Farm Rd and Simpson Brook Rd listed as paved roads. They are in fact gravel, making this route well over 70% gravel! Enjoy!
