--- The old railroad bed which is the last leg of the completed Bike Path.

After the bog, the bikeway enters an old railroad bed that crosses over Colchester Bay. It is breathtaking. To the left is Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains and to the right is Colchester Bay and the Vermont Green Mountains.

Along the way there are large white marble stones and several of them have beautiful artwork on them. The art is small, but very detailed pictures of nature scenes. There are ferns and wildflowers on either side the railroad bed and the scent is wonderful.

As the path gets further out into the bay, the winds off the water can really be felt. Going out it was cooling and refeshing. Returning one hour later, the winds had picked up giving an indication of how it could be if a biker were ever caught in a sudden storm over the bay.
