VT 65 traverses the Sunset Lake Floating Bridge and provides access to Allis State Park.

Turning away from VT 12 for a short distance, the route bends southeast, passing a junction with Lamson Pond 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 over Interstate 89, but no access to the interstate is provided.

VT 65 crosses over a small pond on the Sunset Lake Floating Bridge into downtown Brookfield.
