A local network route spanning just over fifty-one kilometers, this segment follows State Route 22 between Westport and Keeseville, offering what are reported to be sweeping views of the Adirondack Mountains, Lake Champlain, and the pastoral countryside of rural Essex County. The trail provides a sustained immersion in both natural grandeur and working landscape, threading through terrain that balances mountain vistas with the quieter rhythms of the Champlain Valley. Though it traces a roadway corridor, the route is said to reward travelers with long prospects and an unhurried sense of the region's character.
Champlain Valley Trail (Westport to Keeseville) runs 30.0 miles (48.3 km) with about 2,971 feet of elevation gain — a demanding hike, nearly level throughout, about 17 h 30 min on the trail.
At 30.0 miles, few hike it in a single push. It breaks into 9 trailhead-to-trailhead sections — tap Favorite to save a stretch, then hike it in the app instead of the whole line.
