    When I was camping up there last summer, I looked up which county I was going to be staying in, and downloaded the map for that county. I also downloaded individual maps for each town within the county, and printed them all out. A friend of mine has done the same but basically downloaded them to a GPS app that he runs from a tablet that is mounted to the dashboard in his Jeep instead of printing them.
    Doing it that way allows you to record tracks, and download previously recorded tracks if you know someone who has the files already, and certain apps will let you add/show/hide different layers like google earth/maps.
    You can also check out gravel map.com for legal roads elsewhere. It’s a site used primarily by cyclists, so I’d recommend reading the notes, and checking against google maps or similar, on any section you plan to check out just to verify that you’re heading o to a legal road.

    The vtrans maps posted earlier are probably your best bet in VT. A buddy and I printed a bunch of them out at one point and fit them together like a jigsaw puzzle to make a more-or-less full trail map of where we are (Windham county)

    Some of the stuff is kind of outdated or inaccurate. Some of the class IV roads/trails on the maps are overgrown nothing more than foot paths.

    Any questions about stuff in Southern VT, let me know. I have a decent amount of knowledge of the area.

    I’m pretty sure Windham is where we were as well. We camped at Molly Stark camprgound

    My mistake, it was Allis state park near Warren. My dad took the family to Molly stark when I was a kid. I found a cool route from allis over toward warren falls, then up to Lawson’s finest and back that covered a lot of class IV roads. Unfortunately, the first one has a private property sign posted, and although I knew it was a public road, I wasn’t about to tell the local who posted the sign otherwise, while sitting in my XTerra with CT plates. So I turned around at the sign and stuck to pavement.
