Adams Camp

The Adams Camp trail pod, located just off the northern end of Stowe’s iconic Mountain Road, offers a unique experience to riders, while also serving as an invaluable link to the Trapp Family Lodge trails. This zone is STP’s second most ridden trail pod and has an eclectic mix of doubletrack, technical singletrack and flow.

The effort to conserve the Adams Camp property was undertaken by Stowe Land Trust (SLT) in mid-2004 and was completed with funds from over 550 supporters.

There are two popular trailheads. The Pipeline trail can be accessed across from Stowe High School (please park on South side of School). Link to Trailhead

Kimmers or Hardy’s Haul can be accessed from the parking area at the end of Ranch Brook Rd. Link to Trailhead

Recommended Rides

Intermediate and advanced riders can climb Hardy Haul and descend on fast, sinuous Kimmer’s Trail. Riders pedaling from town can climb Pipeline, which begins across from the Stowe High School on Barrows Rd., and follow the signs to cross (no fee) the Trapp Family Lodge network and take Luce Hill Road to the Haul Rd. towards Kimmer’s. Use Double Bypass to avoid the lung-busting “Chute” climb on the Haul Rd.

Note: Full access to the Trapp Family Lodge network requires a trail pass which can be purchased at the Trapp Family Lodge Outdoor Center.
