Two sections of multi-purpose rail-trail have been completed on the Vermont portions of the D&H railbed along the New York State Line for a total length of 19.8 miles. The first section begins at Castleton and extends south of Poultney, while the second section begins at West Pawlet and extends south of West Rupert. However, parts of the intermediate section through Granville as well as the southern section to Salem are unsuitable for trail use due to a lack of corresponding action by New York State agencies.
