Howe Hill Trails are moderate terrain. There are some short steep climbs on Laird’s Loop, some of which may be dangerous in icy conditions. Howe Hill trails are open to walking, hiking, running, and snowshoeing. The trails consist of Laird’s Loop (1.9 miles round-trip) and the Upper Loop (1.0 miles). This trail network represents a partnership between two generous landowners and Slate Valley Trails.

Slate Valley Trails continues to build and maintain free public trails in Castleton, Poultney, and Wells. With almost 40 miles of existing trails, and more than 25 new miles of trail planned for construction, the organization is an up-and-coming trail network in southwestern and central Vermont.

The TrailFinder website has a description and map of hikes using the Slate Valley Trails.
