Bennington College Trail Runs

Top three spots right by campus:

1. Robert Frost house an easy ~4 mile lollipop. Could also start from Lake Paran.

2. Mile Around Woods Park on the road or (walk from Pangea) and follow farm road to map. Or, visit the parking lot near the mansion which has gardens and picnic tables.

3. Bennington Monument Drive around to the back of the monument to a row of parking that points out to the north. Nice views and all paved places to walk. Can also walk down the hill to the Hospital's trails.
