State Route 9 runs through the town’s center. State Route 112 intersects with Route 9 just west of the town center and runs north. There are 26.7 miles of secondary roads that are hilly and winding with little or no lighting. 30% of these roads are unimproved (dirt). At 1,200 feet above sea level, drivers face more challenging winter driving conditions than typically found in the nearby Connecticut River valley.
