Home The Town of Berlin's ice skating rink is adjacent to the Berlin Town Office at 8 Shed Road. There is a warm-up hut, port-o-let and lights for night skating. The switch to turn the lights on is located on the light pole located at the "elbow" of the "L" shaped rink. Part of the rink is utilized for hockey and part is reserved for recreational skating. Central Vermont Mem. Civic Center offers indoor public skating at 11 Gallison Hill Road, Montpelier. They are open most all Saturdays and Sundays from 4 PM to 5:15 PM from October to Feb. 26, 2011. The Dog River Natural Area adjacent to the Riverton Fire Station where Crosstown Road intersects Route 12 in Berlin offers a picnic table, and park bench overlooking the Dog River. Here you can access a couple of small swimming holes or try your hand at fishing for natural trout. It's also a good place to put in a kayak for a couple mile paddle down river to Montpelier's Dog River Recreation Area on Dog River Road. U-32 High School on Gallison Hill Road in East Montpelier grooms cross-country ski trails which are good for trail running or walking in the summer. The trailhead pictured at right may be found by parking in the lot and proceeding to the far side of the running track. The trailhead is located at the Northeast corner of the field- hockey field on the far side of the track. U-32 also has four tennis courts available free to the public located at the north end of the running track. Multiple sliding hills are also located around the track at U-32. Berlin Elementary School located at exit 7 of I-89 offers a playground for children. Irish Hill trails are located on Brookfield Road about a mile from the intersection of Paine Tpke. on the western side of Berlin Pond where there is a small parking lot. ATVs may use Darling Road Trail and Ridgeline trail to the tower only. Mountain bikes may use the same two trails and a network to the north of Darling Road Trail only. All wheeled vehicles may only use trails between May 15 and Nov. 1. Maps are posted at the trailhead as well as these links. Hikers, skiers, and hunters all enjoy the public land as illustrated by this map. Recreationists should wear brightly colored clothing during hunting season from September through December. You might consider leaving the woods to the hunters during the two weeks of deer hunting in Nov. The Central Vermont Bike Path is partially constructed. When complete it will connect Montpelier, Berlin, Barre City and Barre Town. The proposed Berlin/Montpelier connector is on hold until the railroad determines what unused rail bed it needs for granite hauling. This link maps the Montpelier section that is completed. You will find parking and the entrance to Barre Town's path at Barre Town Elementary School.
