Vermont Recreation Guide
There’s no doubt about it: Vermont is a recreation wonderland. From epic ski runs to spectacular mountain ridge hiking, mountain and tour biking, lakeside water-sports to championship golf, there are more outdoor activities to do here than almost anywhere else because of the four seasons and our natural affection for all things outdoors. The other factor of course, is Vermont’s beautiful scenery. It’s so much more enjoyable to take your boat out when you are surrounded by gorgeous tree lined shorelines or skiing fresh powder through statuesque snow covered fir trees or paddling through the boreal forests of the north country.
Sports and recreation are a major factor for Vermont’s popularity with vacationers. With our resort style skiing, how could you pass it up? It’s the winter playground of the east coast. Visitors coming from Boston, New York, Quebec - and even the politicos from Washington DC - know the wonderful secrets that Vermont holds in its Green Mountains. Why not join them this season?
Attractions - Things To Do
Whether you like skiing or snowboarding, there are many places to enjoy a little downhill action. Sugarbush, Killington, Mount Snow – they are all worthy of acclaim. In the summer, those same ski runs become mountain bike trails. Rock climbers will enjoy the Green Mountains, while mountain cyclists and horseback riders will find riding trails and tracks throughout the region. For those seeking a bit less strenuous activities, fly-fishing, golf and tennis, or biking with your family might be more your speed.
Want to try some activities that are a little more low-key? Learn how Vermont’s pioneers lived at various historic locations – the museums and festivals are plentiful year-round. Check out local artists, visit art galleries or take in a professional theater production.
Winter and summer, spring and fall, adventure is always waiting for you in the land of Green Mountains. So whatever you enjoy doing outdoors - biking, swimming, hiking, fishing, rowing, running, or just sitting and watching it all go by – Vermont is your recreation destination! There are so many things to do; it’s hard to know where to start.
We’ll see you on your next Vermont vacation!
