Hartland Winter Trails is a volunteer-led, non-profit organization whose goal is to bring outdoor winter recreation opportunities to the community, free of charge.
We are a small, but dedicated group of volunteers that works very hard to organize, build, and maintain an extensive network of winter recreation trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the town of Hartland, Vermont.
The trails provide a unique opportunity to meander through fields and back woods over gently rolling and steep terrain in the Three- and Four-Corners areas of Hartland. The trails are private property with landowner approval, created and maintained by volunteers, and open to the community free of charge.
To support us, please consider volunteering your time or sending a donation to: Hartland Winter Trails, PO Box 128, Hartland, Vermont 05048. You can also make an online donation below, if you’d like. If you have questions or are seeking more information, email Andrea at execdirector@hartlandwintertrails.org. See you on the trails!
Chatter from the wax room…
We couldn’t have asked for better weather for the 50th anniversary celebration of HWT and our annual Tiki Torch Trek! It was such a joy seeing folks and families of all ages out enjoying the freshly groomed trails together.
Thank you to our supporters and community for coming out to enjoy the event and celebrate HWT, and a special thank you to our volunteers and sponsors who made such a special event possible. Cheers to 50 years and many more ahead!
Kudos to the team of HWT for the lovely event and fundraiser. Always such a unique experience that is carefully planned. —Annie
The trails are an amazing resource for the local community for cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Thanks so much to the volunteer board of directors, and all of the other volunteers who have helped to keep HWT growing over the years.
Happy 50th anniversary, and best wishes for many more years ahead! —Jan
Our equipment loan program has moved to a new location at 17 Lull Farm Lane in a marked shed. It now also includes XC ski equipment! Enjoy and see you out there.
With variable snowfall and conditions so far this season, we’d like to remind you that you can find the latest information on trail conditions by calling our hotline at (802) 281-3244.
