Middlebury Gap

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Middlebury Gap is a mountain pass in Vermont's Green Mountains and a great, very challenging climb for any rider. It divides two different drainage areas with the Robbins Branch flowing southeast into the White River, and the South Branch into Middlebury River, which into Otter Creek, connecting to Lake Champlain. The Long Trail, a 272-mile hiking route traversing Vermont, runs through here, passing between Worth Mountain and Boyce Mountain. The Breadloaf Wilderness lies to the north, while Middlebury College Snow Bowl and Joseph Battell Wilderness are nearby to the south.
