The Atlas/Vermont/Warren Covered Bridge

Warren Covered Bridge

The Warren Covered Bridge spans the Mad River on Covered Bridge Road in Warren, Vermont, just off Route 100. Completed in 1880 and built by Walter Bagley, the 57-foot Queenpost truss structure is one of Vermont's most photographed covered bridges and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge is accessible by vehicle but remains a narrow, low-clearance single-lane crossing — motorcycles pass through with ease. Warren village itself sits at the southern end of the Mad River Valley corridor, minutes from Sugarbush Resort and the turnoff for Lincoln Gap Road.

// Why riders stop

Combining the Warren Covered Bridge with the VT-100/Mad River Valley loop and VT-17 App Gap creates one of Vermont's classic day rides. The bridge is less than a mile off Route 100 in a postcard-perfect village setting. Ride through it, park on the far side, and walk back to the middle for the view up the Mad River — five minutes total.

American Flatbread at Lareau Farm
Vermont
American Flatbread occupies the original farmhouse at Lareau Farm, a 25-acre property on the west side of Route 100 in Waitsfield, Vermont, just south of Waitsfield Village and north of the Mad River crossing. Open Thursday through Sunday evenings, the restaurant bakes thin-crust wood-fired flatbreads (pizza) using local Vermont ingredients in a hand-built outdoor earthen oven. The farm setting — river meadows, gardens, and the 19th-century farmhouse — makes it one of the most atmospheric dining stops on the VT-100 corridor. The restaurant has occupied this location since 1991 and is consistently cited among the best food stops in the Mad River Valley.

Appalachian Gap Summit — VT-17
Vermont
The Appalachian Gap ("App Gap") is the highest paved mountain pass road in Vermont, cresting at 2,369 feet on Route 17 in Buels Gore. The summit parking area sits just west of the crest and gives immediate access to sweeping views of the Champlain Valley, Lake Champlain, and the Adirondack Mountains of New York on clear days. The Long Trail crosses here, and a short walk north or south yields even wider panoramas. The eastern approach from Waitsfield climbs through dense hardwood forest with sustained 15% grades and tight switchbacks — generally considered one of the finest motorcycle roads in the state. Open seasonally; check conditions in shoulder season.

Creemee Stand — Wilmington
Vermont
The Creemee Stand is a seasonal roadside soft-serve custard shack at 716 Route 100 North in Wilmington, Vermont, on the southern stretch of the VT-100 corridor near the junction with Route 9. Serving since the 1970s, it is one of the most cited creemee destinations in southern Vermont — the Signature Vermont Maple Creemee is made with locally produced maple syrup. Ice cream is sourced from Wilcox Dairy, the oldest ice cream manufacturer in Vermont. Open daily noon–9 PM during the May–October season. The stand sits in a wide gravel pull-off with easy motorcycle parking directly off Route 100.
