Wu Ledges Trails

Please note that parking at the trail head is exceedingly limited (only 2 spots). Please respect the homeowners property when parking.

There are three main trails at Wu Ledges.

1. A .84 main trail to and from Wu Ledges travels over easy to intermittent terrain and is marked with yellow diamond trail markers;
2. A 0.26-mile alternate route to the main trail, over easy terrain marked with double yellow diamond trail markers;
3. A 0.5-mile trail connecting the main trail and East Warren Road via Pine Hill Lane (a private road with NO PARKING), over easy to to intermediate terrain marked with yellow octagon trail markers. The nearest parking for this trail is in Waitsfield Village.

NOTE: Numerous unmarked trails intersect the marked trails. Many unmarked trails lead to adjacent private land with no established public access rights.

This 145-acre forest, owned by the Town of Waitsfield, includes extensive woodlands, diverse habitats, bedrock outcrops, shore lands along the Mad River, and open land. Its signature feature, Wu Ledges, is a large outcrop and cliffs with outstanding views of the Mad River, Mill Brook, surrounding hillsides, and the spine of the Green Mountains. Town ownership of the land and trail rights-of-way on some adjacent parcels was made possible through several generous donations to the community between 1999 & 2017. Most of the Wu Ledges Town Forest has been permanently conserved by the Vermont Land Trust to protect its valuable natural resources and provide diverse recreational opportunities.
