Vermont Overland Adventure - Exploring Ancient Class 4 Roads - September 2022

Our second day in Vermont was dedicated to some random exploration of any ancient class 4 roads we could find en route to a few towns and Bent Hill Brewery. We found 4 really cool "town highways" that ranged from "two-track" to rocks to mud and had a blast!

Not bad for a “random exploration day” 🙌

[@scottreynolds273]

I’m definitely going to check this area out in the spring of 23.. My wife and I both love the Vermont area, plus we are pretty close.

If you didn’t see part 1 check it out. The best roads are more like trails 🤘

[@Tacosauce81]

Bigfoot is gonna be pissed you put his campfire out.

[@markwisniewski2227]

Love this video. I'd love to do this.

[@DarksideOffRoad]

Anybody can! Just good old public roads. 🤙 thanks for watching!

[@nickbalch9339]

where is town highway 15? looking for new places to explore and to start camping out and want to try the green mtn national forest

[@JonathanVanRyzin]

Looks awesome. Which campground is it. Looks super nice

[@DarksideOffRoad]

Not a campground. Dispersed camping in the north end of Green Mountain National Forest. 👌

[@JonathanVanRyzin]

Did you have any issues finding a site? I assume you don’t reserve them

[@DarksideOffRoad]

@@JonathanVanRyzin we got in Friday around 5 and saw a few open. It’s a crapshoot but worth it.

[@DirtRoadTherapy]

First!

[@DarksideOffRoad]

you did it!

[@GiantMeteor2024]

3rd!🍻🇺🇲

[@georgetony1000]

Would love to do this . Where can I get info on these trails.

[@DarksideOffRoad]

I have the roads labeled in the description. They’re all public roads so just google them or look them up on Gaia GPS and plan your route!

[@georgetony1000]

@@DarksideOffRoad Thank you 🙏

[@adamwright1978]

How did you find the camping spots? We have a small group and plan on camping this summer in that area.

[@DarksideOffRoad]

I used iOverlander for a few ideas on areas to look. We got lucky with having Ron from Ridgeback Guide Service hang out with us on Day 1 and confirm some of our ideas.

[@DarksideOffRoad]

South and north ends of the national forest seem to have more spots on the forest roads. During summer there are a handful of state parks with paid traditional camping as well.

[@adamwright1978]

Thank you so much for the information. We are excited for new adventures this coming summer. Stay safe!
