Frequently Asked Questions
Our trails are open every day, condition dependent. Please check the trail condition report for trail status. Trails are typically closed throughout mud season (end of March- beginning of May), and November (until we have enough snow for grooming). Guest Service and rental hours change seasonally.
All pedestrian use including hiking, trail running, and snowshoeing are complementary. All biking and skiing use requires a membership which can be purchased annually, seasonally or by the day.
Dogs are not permitted on the Catamount Community Forest. There are several other local options that allow dogs.
Upon arrival, please stop by our Guest Services Hub in order to fill out a waiver and complete the visitor sign in. If biking or skiing, please be sure you have purchased a current membership. Both the waiver and the membership fee can be completed ahead of time online. Or, use the self-pay slot at the Hub.
Bring clothes appropriate for the weather (things can change quickly). Be sure to pack enough water as well. We recommend having a map or downloading a trail map to help navigate the trail network.
We will close trails as needed based on conditions. The trails are Catamount are a privilege from both the town of Williston and several private landowners. Please respect all trail closures.
Our trail system is the perfect jumping off place for those new to trail adventures and for anyone seeking to challenge their skills through progressively harder terrain.
The trails are closed to hiking traffic during the winter season to prevent damage from foot traffic. Snowshoeing is permitted on the extensive single track network and is the perfect place to enjoy the forest. The groomed ski trails are closed to snowshoeing and fat biking.
