I rode the White River Trail out and back yesterday and discovered a new connecting route between the east WR section & the west WR section, through Burlington. The complete trail (O&B) is 44 miles.

See the map link below, specifically the orange-star section in Burlington..this is the new trail**. Overall, the new trail connecting route allows nearly a direct west low-traffic, good pavement(new) pathway that avoids the previous higher-traffic main roads through Burlington.

**If you look at the mapped connecting route below on google maps via the satellite view, you won't see the new trail, but it is there. The surface is fine-crushed limestone, but it hasn't bonded yet..it's a little loose in some areas, be careful.
