Route description
VT 65 begins at an intersection with VT 12 in front of Baker Pond in the town of Brookfield. VT 65 runs east and turns immediately south through dense woods paralleling VT 12. Turning away from VT 12 for a short distance, the route bends southeast, passing a junction with Lamson Pond Road. VT 65 runs southward, reaching a northeastern fork of Allis State Forest Park, intersecting the park access road. At the junction with Bear Hill Road (Township Highway 22), VT 65 turns eastward through a rural section of Vermont, passing the northern shore of South Pond. The route then turns north along West Street, making a quick right off West Street and passing under Interstate 89, but no access to the interstate is provided. VT 65 crosses over a small pond on a floating bridge into downtown Brookfield.[2]
In the section of Brookfield, VT 65 reaches Stone Road, where it turns southeast, passing a junction with Ridge Road. After Ridge Road, the route runs along the southern edges of the ridge, passing some houses and dense woods. After another curve, VT 65 bends northeast and reaches a junction with VT 14 in the village of East Brookfield. This junction marks the eastern terminus of VT 65.[2]
