Champlain Valley Trail (Comstock to Whitehall)

This segment of the Champlain Valley Trail runs just under thirteen kilometers between Comstock and Whitehall, traveling mostly along the shoulders of local roads with conditions that are reported to vary considerably. The notable exception is a three-quarter-mile paved section linking South and North Quarry Roads slightly south of Comstock, where deep woods offer a quieter, more scenic experience than the roadside portions. Those seeking a contemplative walk rather than a true backcountry trek will find this wooded stretch particularly rewarding, though the route as a whole serves more as a connecting segment than a destination in itself.
