Activities

Snake Mountain Trail

Hike Snake Mountain, just southwest of Middlebury, and see if you can spot a peregrine falcon, a red-tailed hawk, or even a golden-winged warbler!

A self-guided culinary route featuring over 40 artisanal cheesemakers across Vermont, offering farm tours, tastings, and farmstand purchases. And they'll mail you a paper map if you request one ahead of time!

Champlain Orchards

Pick some apples, Abby!

Lemon Fair Sculpture Park

Enjoy a ramble through this charming sculpture garden in Shoreham, just west of Middlebury.

Shelburne Museum

What to expect, from the website: "American folk art. French Impressionist paintings. Historic New England architecture. Duck decoys, circus animals, and dolls." How could you miss it?

Fort Ticonderoga

Take a ferry across Lake Champlain and visit Fort Ticonderoga, built by the French-Canadians during the French and Indian War!

Bristol Falls

If it’s warm enough, go for a swim in the New Haven River at Bristol Falls! Be like Becca’s dad and leap from the cliffs, or be like Becca and paddle gently around the sparkling pool below. When you’re done, grab a maple creemee in Bristol!
