The Moosalamoo Campground Loop is a 2.02-mile loop trail in the Middlebury Ranger District of the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests in Vermont, managed by the Forest Service. It is an easy hike, rated easy, with a total elevation gain of 46 feet and a flat profile, making it accessible for hikers of all abilities. The trail sits within the Branbury to Silver Lake trail system, so it works well as a standalone outing or as a starting point for a longer walk. The route is natural-surfaced and allows bikes, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.28 miles in, with a 5% grade. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 76°F with lows near 54°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. Moosalamoo Campground and the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area both lie about 0.1 mile away, and the North Branch hike is about 0.2 mile off. Paddlers can reach Sucker Brook about 0.9 mile away.
