Kelley Stand Road between East Arlington and Stratton is more than just a scenic drive in southern Vermont. This beautiful dirt road through the Green Mountains offers incredible access and options for hiking, camping, mountain biking, and sightseeing.
Kelley Stand Road runs along the Roaring Branch river and crosses into the Green Mountain National Forest and the town of Stratton before ending at Route 100 in West Wardsboro. You’ll find many opportunities for hiking, including access to Stratton Pond along The Long Trail, as well as trail loops around Grout Pond and Somerset Reservoir.
Closed in the winter, the road originally served numerous logging camps and early settlements during the 19th century. It’s also where Daniel Webster spoke to 1,600 people at an 1840 Whig rally. A historic marker commemorates the spot along the road in Stratton.
