VAST Trail & TMA Information

For decades, snow sports enthusiasts have been enjoying the trails and lakes of Vermont during the winter months by way of their snowmobile. The VAST rail system is designed for snowmobiling, originating in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and has grown to extend well into Quebec, New Hampshire, New York, as well as parts of Connecticut.

In the Northeast Kingdom, you can discover miles of untamed wilderness and frozen lakes passable by snowmobile, while you travel from township to township.
