Adams Camp Connector

Newly conserved on February 21, 2025, Adams Camp Connector is an 85-acre parcel between two large areas of previously protected land: the Bouchard Farm and Adams Camp. Identified as high priority by Vermont Conservation Design, the parcel is home to intact forested habitat, aquatic and riparian systems which provide water quality protection and downstream flood resilience, and a diverse ecosystem on which plant and animal communities depend. It also contains working forest and an active sugarbush.

Adams Camp Connector is especially important for connections for recreationists and wildlife movement from the Little River to the eastern slopes of Mt. Mansfield. The parcel hosts much of the popular Haulapalooza Trail and a section of the Catamount Trail also used by the historic Stowe Derby ski race. Beginning in Spring 2025, SLT and its partners Stowe Trails Partnership, the Catamount Trail, and Stowe Nordic will embark on a process to design, permit and build a new trail to connect the Stowe Recreation Path and the Adams Camp trail network year-round.
