The Bethel village trails can be accessed from The Bethel Inn or by parking on Broad Street in Bethel. In 2016, Inland Woods + Trails assumed operations of the winter trails center at The Bethel Inn. This network now includes year-round recreation with a network of cross-country ski, snowshoe, and fat biking trails in the winter and mountain biking trails in the summer. This would not have been possible without significant investment and volunteer contributions from our community. We are grateful to landowners that partner with us including private landowners and The Conservation Fund.

The connection: The Bethel village trails is at the core of IWT’s goal of community connectivity. The network provides recreation on the outskirts on the Bethel village, close to area businesses and not far from our other trail networks.

Crescent Park School: Crescent Park School, the local public elementary school located in Bethel Village, contains an easy single track bike trail that can also be accessed by those willing to explore the bike trails of Bethel Village. From Bethel village trail network, the Crescent Park School trail can be accessed from The Bethel Inn Resort trailhead by going from Broad Street to Mason Street to Crescent Street, or by going from Fairway Road to Paradise Road to Evergreen Road.
