The Town of Bolton is located in the western foothills of the Green Mountains, on the eastern edge of the Lake Champlain Valley. The Winooski River bisects the Town from east to west, as does Interstate 89, the New England Central Railway, and U.S. Route 2. Chartered in June 1763, Bolton is a small rural municipality that prides itself on many unique aspects: we are a tight-knit community with acres of forested land bisected by recreational trails, majestic ridge lines, rugged rocky outcrops, and valley-bottom cropland, all tucked in between working landscapes and our beloved Green Mountains.
Important Dates, News & Announcements
Bolton Valley Access Road Update
10-15-2026: The Road Crew has patched two cut outs (near the sugar shack and near Timberline) and worked to smooth the washboarding on the last mile over the last few days. Fortunately, our paving work this summer came in under budget and we are in active conversation to put the remainder of that budget towards paving the two cut outs and a shim coat on at least a portion of the last mile. Updates will be posted once details are finalized – thank you for your patience as we work to improve safety and conditions to get us through the winter. A full reclaim is planned for the last mile of the Access Road in summer 2027.
