A Different Side of Vermont

Just forests, rivers, mountain trails, and the slower rhythm of rural Vermont.

Green Road North sits in Lincoln, a small town tucked into the Green Mountains and within easy reach of Bristol, Middlebury, Warren, Waitsfield, Sugarbush, and some of the state's best outdoor adventures.

  • Walking distance - Bristol Cliffs is Vermont's smallest Wilderness. It takes its name from the overhanging cliffs on the huge rocky slopes within the western portion of the area. From their 1,500-foot summit, you can gaze across Champlain Valley, over Lake Champlain, and into the Adirondacks of New York.


    The forest of Bristol Cliffs provides habitat for beavers, white-tailed deer, black bears, and grouse. If you're lucky, you might spot a peregrine falcon on the cliffs. Two secluded ponds, North and Gilmore, are nestled deep in the interior. Numerous streams tumble musically over low waterfalls. The area has no established trails, and the occasional footpaths to the cliffs are faint and hard to follow. But with a map and compass in hand, you can explore the area and find one of the least visited spots in Vermont.

  • Walking distance - The trail begins just up the street from the cabin, offering an easy 4.2-mile loop through fields, forests, and quiet Vermont countryside.
