Welcome to Friends of Island Park
Mission
To manifest a premier greenway on the historic Island Park and its bridges, cooperatively between Hinsdale, NH, and Brattleboro, VT—transforming this unique space into a thriving, car-free amenity that enriches lives through diverse recreational activities, natural beauty, and community events.
Vision
This island is the nexus of two towns and two states. It connects the Connecticut River, the West River, the Mt. Wantastiquet trails, the Whetstone Walkway, the West River Trail, and the Fort Hill Trail--serving as a connector for all, including walkers, hikers, bike riders, skateboarders, anglers, boaters, schoolchildren, and tourists.
The journey continues — stay tuned for what's next.
