This section of the Champlain Valley Trail traces nearly forty-two kilometers of varied terrain between Whitehall and Ticonderoga, passing through landscapes where working farmland meets the eastern prospect of the Adirondack massif. The route is reported to offer sweeping views across rural Washington County, where agricultural heritage and mountain backdrop converge in a corridor that remains largely pastoral in character. Though classified as a local trail network, the distance suggests a commitment suited to through-hikers or those prepared to stage the journey across multiple outings.
Champlain Valley Trail (Whitehall to Ticonderoga) runs 26.0 miles (41.8 km) with about 3,415 feet of elevation gain — a demanding hike, with a gentle, rolling grade, about 14 h 45 min on the trail. It climbs to the summit of Moore Hill (1,047 ft).
At 26.0 miles, few hike it in a single push. It breaks into 7 trailhead-to-trailhead sections — tap Favorite to save a stretch, then hike it in the app instead of the whole line.
