Welcome to Mad River Trails Alliance!
After decades of collaboration between the two groups, the Mad River Riders and Mad River Path have joined to form a single organization, Mad River Trails Alliance, as of October 1st. The same trails you’ve always loved, now with the added power of our combined efforts behind them.
Our mission is to build and steward a vibrant and diverse trail system that connects communities in the Mad River Valley, supports a thriving economy, encourages outdoor recreation, and fosters appreciation for the natural world.
Together, we hope to become an effective and unified voice for the maintenance and development of an interconnected trail system, in service to both the residents and thousands of visitors who recreate in this special corner of the world. Mad River Trails Alliance will be a resource for bikers, runners, dog walkers, bird watchers, and other diverse trail users.
As a newly formed team of board and staff, we are grateful to those who came before us, dreamt, planned, and labored to create a unique trail system we have the privilege to steward.
Check out our new website to keep up with what we’re doing and plan your next adventure. Thank you for being a part of our community, and we hope to see you out on the trails soon.
