LUDLOW, Vt. – Okemo Valley Trails (OVT) invites the community to celebrate the grand opening of the new Fletcher Farm Trail Network on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., at Fletcher Farm in Ludlow.
If you enjoy OVT’s Back 40 trails, you’ll love this next phase of trail building in the Okemo Valley. The new Fletcher Farm network offers trails built for mountain biking that are also open to other nonmotorized recreation, such as hiking, nature walks, and cross-country skiing. This first three-mile phase includes beginner- and kid-friendly trails, as well as intermediate and advanced terrain.
The celebration begins at 10 a.m., with guided mountain bike rides from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m., and sponsor tents on site. Visitors are encouraged to bring their bikes and explore the new trails.
At 12 p.m., OVT will hold an official ribbon cutting with the Okemo Valley Chamber of Commerce, with an opportunity to meet members of the OVT Board and representatives from the Vermont Mountain Bike Association (VMBA). Pizza from Village Pizza in Ludlow and nonalcoholic beverages will follow.
The event is free and open to the local and visiting community. Come ride, explore the trails, meet the people who helped make the project possible, and celebrate an exciting new outdoor recreation resource for the Okemo Valley.
