Variety of Hiking Trails

Mount Mansfield, Vermont features several different hiking trails that can take you high up the mountain. Hazelton Trail begins near Mt. Mansfield Base Lodge and heads up towards the Visitors’ Center.

The Hellbrook Trail is one of our favorite hikes. Start out at Smugglers’ Notch Road and climb .7 miles before deciding whether to continue the remaining .3 miles or take the Hellbrook Cutoff route, a .7 mile trail that ends at The Chin. Finally, the Long Trail is a popular route that winds along Mount Mansfield and throughout the region. While this aptly named trail is quite rigorous, you can explore small stretches of the trail, which also connects to other trails in the area, such as Cliff Trail and the Hellbrook Cutoff.

Available Camping

If you and your group are looking to spend time camping, Mount Mansfield has an area where you can secure lodging. The Green Mountain Club’s Taft Lodge allows lodging for $6 per person. Since the mountain can be scaled in a short time, many hikers will skip out on the camping, allowing plenty of room for you and your group. Make sure to bring your own stove as creating fires is forbidden.
