How we know this
Town of Charlotte trail brochure (charlottevt.org, file dated 2015 in its name) and charlottevt.org/parks_trails, read 2026-10-23. Neither states a fee. The brochure gives the parking area as 1489 Greenbush Road, which geocodes 12 m from this lot. The brochure is about ten years old, so confirm hours with the Town.
Fees, hours and rules change. Posted signs at the trailhead always override this page.
