CAMEL'S HUMP, DUXBURY

Doggone Good Time by Kathy Murphy

DENNIS CURRAN, STATE OF VERMONT/TOURISM

hen you look at your pet, circled up beside you on the floor, playing fetch in the yard with your kids, or riding shotgun on the way to the groomer, what do you see? A loyal friend, a trusted confidant, a playful exercise partner?

Everybody sees their pet differently . Some people focus on the pedigree, others view them as furry companions; most however treat their pets just like a member of the family and take their well-being to heart each and every day . For this age-less “child” of the family, rules may be broken, lessons unlearned and sins forgiven . Why? Because your pet’s spirited curiosity leads to amazing discovery and downright joy . Whether you’re traveling with your pet, or you just want to emulate their energetic approach to life, a trip to Vermont means a doggone good time for man (or woman!) and beast .

IT’S A DOG’S LIFE IN VERMONT Most people love to play . Atop a mountain, in the middle of a lake, on a farm, or in the woods, there’s rest and rejuvenation, adventure and whimsy, scenery and sounds of nature in all four seasons in Vermont . Hiking, paddling, rummaging and roaming with a four-legged companion is exhilarating – many pets and their human counterparts will explore with tail-wagging Labrador bravado, abandoning the trail in favor of open space, hell-bent

to fully engage all five senses . Others experience with a more reserved, feline independence, cautious yet curious as they scale to new heights or launch into unknown waters . Here, outdoor adventure comes in all shapes and sizes, and playcations are packaged to appeal to a variety of tastes, interests, and breeds . Lush Green Mountain forests, long winding roads, and crisp, clear lakes and ponds are the backdrop for endless possibilities . Our cars and trucks are equipped with racks loaded with road and mountain bikes, kayaks and canoes, or cargo carriers toting camping gear – all the ingredients that enable instant gratification when the sun is shining and the fish are biting .

HIKING AND WALKING Who doesn’t like to go for a walk and unleash oneself from responsibility and routine? It’s easy to put your best foot or paw forward in Vermont, whether you have two or four, where our mountains are accessible . Wooded trails are often a short drive from quaint villages or mere steps away from resort accommodations . One of our treasures is America’s oldest long-distance hiking trail, the Long Trail, which spans 272 miles (389 km) from the Massachusetts border to Canada . Whether you lace up your boots to tackle the entire end-to-end journey or venture off on a day hike to one of the many summits, like Stratton Mountain, Killington Peak, Camel’s Hump, or Mount Mansfield – Vermont’s

highest peak – you’ll be rewarded with spectacular 360 degree views all over New England and the state of New York . If you do tackle a mountain with your dog, please keep them under your control and on the trail . Always bring along a leash, extra water and a baggie or two .

MOUNT PHILO, CHARLOTTE

For shorter, family-centric jaunts to discover colorful wildflowers, wild blueberries or musical songbirds, try the trail to Pleiad Lake in Ripton, one of Vermont’s highest lakes; the footpaths of Mount Independence in Orwell, an active archeology site with Revolutionary War historical features; or Mount Philo in Charlotte, with sweeping Lake Champlain vistas . To find hiking on state lands, family-friendly hikes, or inn-to-inn guided hiking tours, turn to pages 103–105 of this guidebook, or visit the website of Vermont State Parks (www .vtstateparks .com) . You may seek a different sort of path to travel, one that is more flat and urban . While the surface may be predictable, the journey is far from it as you stroll through our Designated Downtowns on paved recreation paths or rail trails (see page 96 of this guidebook to find a Designated Downtown) . Outdoor dining, sculptures and statues, floral gardens, historic markers and classic New England architecture are interwoven into the natural landscape of these vibrant communities . Or, head out of town to walk the acclaimed, tree canopied roads of Vermont bordered by stone fences keeping cows at bay . And, if your dog likes to “ruff it” too, the West River Trail in Jamaica, or Stowe Recreation Path, are just a few of the many “walkin’ the dog” options available to Fido . Keep your pet on a leash in town, and be aware that while many businesses are dog-friendly, some are not .

BIKING Rolling routes through quaint villages and past Vermont farms and orchards, over covered bridges and across lush valleys, and up majestic mountains surrounding pristine lakes make cycling the ideal way to enjoy Vermont’s unspoiled scenery . Here you can choose between touring the quiet back roads of the Champlain Valley, or take on the challenge of the forested trails and rollicking terrain of the Northeast Kingdom on your mountain bike – whatever your preference, we have the ride for you . For some, “man’s best friend” is twowheeled and not four-legged . Those who love their bike and seek every opportunity to spend time together won’t bark up the wrong tree cycling in Vermont, with or without their pet . There are hundreds of miles of roads

and trails, from scenic, leisurely rides to heart-pumping single track adventures, kid-friendly bike paths to hill workouts on mountain access roads and adrenaline-fueled downhill descents powered by lift-access . Bike centers, tour operators, bike organizations, resorts and lodging choices are as plentiful and as accommodating as the options to peddle your way through Vermont . Looking for an organized, simplified solution that enables you to experience Vermont from the saddle worry-free? Try an inn-toinn bike tour . You’ll rise and shine in a beautiful, comfortable inn, ride at your own pace amidst the sights and sounds of one of the world’s most stunning locations, and relax with warm, friendly people over fine food at day’s end . If you do intend to bring your pet, always call ahead to be sure he or she can be accommodated or make arrangements for Fido to be well taken care of while you are on the road . (Please see page 85 of this guidebook to find an organized bike trip .) From extreme to the mainstream, Vermont’s alpine and cross country resorts also offer mountain bike terrain in summer and fall, many served by lifts to enable quick ascent to diverse trail networks . Check the Vermont Ski Areas Association’s website to find a resort open for mountain biking (www .ski vermont .com) . CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

park for both mountain and BMX bikes at Grafton Ponds Outdoor Center in Grafton . Three terrain loops feature jumps, switchbacks, and teeter-totters; don’t miss “Ravine Run” – an exciting series of drops, deep turns, and bridges down the side of Grafton Ponds’ steep ravine . Grafton Ponds Outdoor Center welcomes dogs on Mondays and Thursdays . This facility offers guided tours for all levels and abilities (www .graftonponds .com) .

SWIMMING

Traveling without your pet but want to experience the thrill of mountain biking? Other human-only options include the Catamount Outdoor Family Center in Williston, just outside of Burlington (www .catamountoutdoor .com) and the bike terrain

Who doesn’t love a cool, refreshing dip when the dog days of summer arrive? From sandy beaches to a backyard pond or pool, crystalline mountain lakes to spring-fed quarries, the options for swimming in clear, clean waters are plentiful throughout the state . One “big lake” destination is Lake Champlain’s North Beach in Burlington, open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day (www .enjoyburlington .com/northbeach .cfm) . North Beach welcomes dogs on leashes . Other larger bodies of water for swimming include Lake Carmi, Bomoseen or Lake Willoughby; for smaller options, choose Silver Lake in Barnard, Lake St . Catherine or Lake Elmore . It’s a safe bet to ask your innkeeper or concierge for their personal favorite too; swimming holes off the beaten path can be closely guarded secrets and are yet as well worth exploring as more popular destinations .

GOING TO THE DOGS

ccording to the American Pet Products Association National Pet Owners Survey, over 46 million households own a dog; in fact, it’s likely more than one as total number of dogs owned as pets exceeds 78 million . We pamper them, bring them wherever we roam, and surprise them with something new often, whether stylish accessories, gourmet treats or escape to points unknown .

ORVIS, MANCHESTER

HELLO, MY NAME IS… . From monogrammed sweaters and personalized food and water bowls to digitized collar tags and handmade treats, owners embrace their pets as true members of the American family with their very own belongings . First road trip with your pet? Orvis in Manchester offers newbies an indispensible roadside companion, The AAA Pet Book Traveling with Your Pet, along with a cadre of items from FUR Dry™ jackets to stainless steel water bottles to equip you and your pal for all kinds of Vermont adventures (www .orvis .com) .

CHOW TIME Vermont outdoor adventures burn lots of calories so it’s vital that both man and beast refuel . Wagatha’s in Manchester Center boasts an array of options certain to put a smile on

FISHING There are fish tails and tributes and then there’s the one that got away . In Vermont, fishing is a favorite pastime of visitors and Vermonters alike . One of the few activities that engage the passions and interests of everyone from kids to great-grandparents, catching “the big one” in Vermont is sometimes challenging, often exciting, and always rewarding, no matter how your fish stacks up . With more than 20 popular species of game and panfish to be found in the lakes, ponds, rivers, and brooks of Vermont, chances are your catch will be just fine and the lifelong bond between generations of family and friends made on the water will endure . Vermont’s family-friendly fishing spots are dispersed across the state and offer families an excellent chance of catching rainbow, brook or lake trout, or perch, bass or pickerel from shore or in a boat . Kids under 15 years can get started without a license; for more information and “Trophy Trout” designated sites, contact the Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife (www .vtfishandwildlife . com) . (Your pet doesn’t need a license but make sure to keep them away from the hook!) Local outfitters also offer guided tours and lessons .

TWO-LEGGED VERMONT VACATIONS

Traveling with your four-legged best friend is not for everyone . If your vacation is for human adventurers only there are plenty of outdoor activities for you to experience with the energy and enthusiasm of a happy dog, even if you left him at home .

GOLF Golfers are a unique breed, hot on the trail of birdies and eagles that have nothing to do with feathers . Yet their exuberance is rewarded in Vermont, where the natural landscape is well-suited for challenging but very playable courses, many with breathtaking views . It’s never been easier or more fun to play a few rounds in Vermont . The Vermont Golf Association features courses designed by such renowned golf architects as Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones, Sr ., Graham Cooke & Associates, and more (www .vtga .org) .

MORE OUTDOOR ADVENTURES Vermont has a well earned reputation for being the place to visit for world-class outdoor adventures of all types and variety that impart grins like a Cheshire cat . From human-powered recreation to leisure sports, motorized escapes to nature-based entertainment, you’ll want to come back again and again, whether for the mild or the wild side . JAY PEAK RESORT For your daily dose of adrenaline, many of Vermont’s alpine resorts transform into adventure centers when the snow melts . The Pump House at Jay Peak is Vermont’s first water park, with 50,000 square feet of fun, featuring a myriad of slides and the near-vertical LaChute, which launches riders into a free-fall, reaching speeds of up to 40 mph with a force of 2 .5 Gs (www .jaypeak resort .com) .

Come for a Visit, Stay for a Lifetime: Profiles of Vermonters-at-Heart by Jen Butson and Greg Gerdel

eople are drawn to Vermont – beautiful mountains, neighborly and culturally rich downtowns, wholesome food that is fresh and local, and “get out and play” diversions that exist harmoniously with other commitments . We asked four people who chose to settle here: what led them to their decision to “make Vermont home?”

Kelly Pawlak: Mount Snow Resort General Manager, 27 years • Dover • www.mountsnow.com What brought me to Vermont? I grew up skiing . After college, I was suddenly faced with a winter without my dad ready and willing to pay for my season pass . So I went searching for a job at a ski area and found one at Mount Snow Resort in southern Vermont . The longer I worked at Mount Snow, the more I fell in love with the ski industry and this region of Vermont in winter and of course, summer .

What keeps me here? It sounds kind of corny but the primary reason I stay at Mount Snow is because I love the people I work with and the skiers and riders who come to this resort and its surrounding community year after year . Vermont is a great place to raise a family and take advantage of all the amazing recreational opportunities at the resort and around this region of Vermont . Because of where we live and what I do, my kids have had a lot of cool experiences . They’ve had a more active lifestyle than most, growing up skiing, meeting pro athletes, and that is such a great benefit . Every day I wake up anxious to get to the mountain and leave at the end of the day wanting to accomplish more . Where else do you get to spend your days with healthy, happy and fun people…and get paid for it?

Mark Simakaski: Owner of Artesano Mead, 5 years • Groton • www.artesanomead.com What brought me to Vermont? Vermont’s people, creatures, and ecosystem are what enticed me to come to the Green Mountain State . Honeybees visit about 1,500,000 flowers to make one bottle of mead, or honey wine . I discovered Vermont has so many resources for producing our wine, and that people have raised a consistent honey crop here for hundreds of years . A healthy environment and productive bees are critical to the production of mead; one colony of bees contains 40,000 to 60,000 individuals and can produce enough honey for about 90 bottles . We had been beekeeping for a number of years ourselves and realized that making mead in Vermont was a business strategy with great potential . What keeps me here? What made us stay was not only the support of small fruit growers and Vermonters in general, but also the great landscape in which we are able to work . With four active seasons and a beautiful backdrop, our honey wine business has continued to grow year after year . With such priority placed upon locally produced products, Vermont is a destination for “foodies” from all over . Our mead is crafted from essences that define Vermont . In addition to traditional mead, we make seasonal varieties such as blueberry, raspberry, cranberry, spiced, and chili cinnamon . As a business, we are committed to sourcing our honey and fruit from local producers so that our mead reflects all of the great flavors that Vermont has to offer .

Matt Dodds: Chief Brandthropologist at Brandthropology, 10 years • Burlington • www.brandthropology.com What brought me to Vermont? Family brought me here . After spending many years in some of the world’s largest cities (Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore) we were ready to settle down in a less urban environment . In the early 80s I had summer jobs in Burlington, and came to love the scale of this wonderful place; large enough to offer many of the things that big cities have, but more intimate and socially connected . Burlington topped our list so we dug into savings and made a go of it .

Maurie Harrington: Studio Painter and Teacher, 20 years. Art Director at Isle La Motte’s Fisk Farm 10 years • Killington • www.maurieharrington.net What brought me to Vermont? My husband Jack and I both worked as ambassadors and taught skiing at Killington Ski Resort . We bought a ski house which eventually became our permanent home . Our sons competed in freestyle ski competitions and attended Killington Mountain School . I earned my master’s degree in art from Norwich University and my husband went to Middlebury College . What keeps me here? My artistic inspiration comes from the beauty found in Vermont, the magnificent views of Mount Mansfield that I see from my window at our summertime waterfront house in North Hero, as well as the beauty of Killington in winter . I guess I have the best of both worlds . My husband and I also love Vermont because of its music and art . He plays in a group called “Potluck Folk Singers .” I was one of the founding members of Killington Artists Guild which is still in existence today . Recent projects include a poetry book Gathering of Poets for which my painting was selected for the cover . Two of my poems are included in the book as well . I am a member of the Vermont Watercolor Society, Island Arts, Chaffee Art Center, League of Vermont Writers and National League of American Pen Women .

What keeps me here? One very critical thing that keeps me here is this wonderful, buoyant sense that the progressive things that we’re doing in Vermont have meaningful impact on the world . I take immense pleasure in working directly with exceptional people and institutions that are making a difference, which is rewarding and invigorating . Through my profession I have taken on projects that allow me to participate in the local food movement, environmental and social services fields, a more sustainable energy future, delivering healthcare services to the rural areas of the state, transforming the higher education model to be less costly and more adult learner friendly, reconnecting our children with nature, and more . It gives me a great sense of pride to be able to take the skills that I’ve learned in the greater world working for multinational companies and to be able to put these skills to use in a place to which I am deeply connected .

Connections to my extended family keep me here as well . My maternal grandmother came from the Vermont side of Lake Champlain . I uncovered that my great-great-great-greatgreat grandfather, Dan Johnson, came to what was then the New Hampshire Grants in 1787 and was one of the original Incorporators of Williston, where I now live . By shear happenstance, I bought a farm house on a part of that original Johnson farmland . Freaky – and so intriguing! On my dad’s side, I’m a direct descendant of a Green Mountain Boy, who was part of the citizen militia established in 1760 and led by Ethan Allen to maintain territorial independence . History’s an amazing thing . I just hope that I can impact some small part of Vermont’s history .

Sowing the Seeds of Change: Vermont’s “Farm-to-Plate” Revolution

by Alison Kosakowski DELIA GILLEN, HIGH MOWING SEEDS

n recent years, the notion of eating “farm-to-plate” has captured the attention of culinary aficionados, and even some mainstream eaters, across the country . From seed, to soil, to the table, the Vermont food system is a complex network . It takes cooperation and a sense of community to create and sustain a food system so deeply integrated . And from that commitment, a food hub has emerged . On the threshold of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom lies the town of Hardwick . A post-Civil War granite quarrying town, about a decade ago the Center for an Agricultural Economy quietly took root in Hardwick with the goal of supporting and advancing a healthy regional food system (www .hardwickagriculture .org) . Within the last half a dozen years Hardwick has emerged as a hub for Vermont’s food economy . Hardwick’s legacy is rooted in agriculture . From the town’s Kimball House, a c .1890 three-room Victorian B&B located on land that was once part of a subsistence farm, to Vermont Natural Coatings – leveraging whey byproducts from Vermont’s vibrant cheesemaking industry to create natural, non-toxic wood finishes – the ingenuity of Hardwick’s people has created a momentum for innovation in this plucky town (www .kimballhouse .com, www .vermontnaturalcoatings .com) .

HIGH MOWING ORGANIC SEEDS, WOLCOTT

In fact, author and environmentalist Bill McKibben noted upon visiting Hardwick five years ago: “After spending a day in Hardwick, I feel a great burst of pleasure and possibility . Deep and transformative things are happening here . Hardwick has all the pieces of a healthy food system connected and ready to fall into place, and is as far ahead in sustainable agriculture as any place in the country .” And fall in place, they have . Two years after McKibben’s declaration, Vermont author Ben Hewitt penned the book The Town That Food Saved: How One Community Found Vitality in Local Food (Rodale Books, 2010), exploring the region’s “agripreneurs” in what has been dubbed the “Silicon Valley of local food .” And since then, the momentum has continued to build . Case in point: Agripreneur Tom Stearns and the butternut squash .

IT STARTS WITH A SEED Tom Stearns first fell in love with gardening . His respect, fascination, and appreciation for seeds soon followed, leading to a lifelong commitment to sustainable agriculture . Stearns is the president and founder of High Mowing Organic Seeds, located just beyond Hardwick’s border in Wolcott, Vermont . High Mowing grows and markets about 650 varieties of organic and heirloom vegetable, flower, and herb seeds through catalogs and retail garden stores nationwide .

“If we can figure out how to farm better, we can figure out how to have an abundant future on this planet,” claims Stearns, a Connecticut native who settled in Vermont in 1996 . This is where seeds come in . “In order to farm better, we need seeds that thrive even under great stress,” Stearns says . Butternut squash is no exception . High Mowing Seeds is selling three varieties of butternut squash this season, among them, a squash known as Nutterbutter which matures in just ninety days . Producing a squash like Nutterbutter doesn’t happen overnight . In fact, it can take up to ten years to make a new seed variety that is up to Stearns’ standards . In the case of Nutterbutter, it took High Mowing’s plant breeder, Jodi Lew-Smith, five . When it comes to growing one’s own food, patience really is a virtue . “The people who buy our seeds care deeply about the environment and about being stewards of the land,” says Stearns . “They are committed to growing good, healthy food, and leaving the world a little better off than they found it .”

FROM SEED TO HARVEST High Mowing Seeds are used by farmers beyond Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom as well as nationwide . Christa Alexander and her husband Mark Fashing have been farming in Jericho, a town located in the same county as Burlington, Vermont’s largest city, since 2002 . After attending Williams College, Alexander tried several jobs and traveled a bit, but something pulled her back to her family’s land . “I’ve always felt connected to the land,” she says . Another example of Vermont agripreneurs, she and Mark own and operate Jericho Settlers Farm . Through their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program, community members pay in advance for a season’s worth of farm-raised meat, eggs, and fresh vegetables, which are distributed weekly . This popular direct-to-consumer model is a mainstay of Vermont agriculture, and Jericho Settlers Farm runs one of the state’s most successful programs . Alexander, who believes it is important to buy local, appreciates High Mowing Seeds’ high quality product and commitment to sustainability . In the fall, she sells butternut squash at her farm stand . The majority are put in cold storage and included as part of the Jericho Settlers’ Winter CSA . “Our community is really supportive of us, and we try to give back,” Alexander says . The Farm has established a relationship with nearby Richmond Elementary School . “The kids come to the farm and help harvest vegetables – including our butternut squash – from the field; they serve our food in the cafeteria…it’s a great program .”

“A SUCCESSFUL FARM TO SCHOOL PROGRAM INTEGRATES THE THREE C’S: CAFETERIA, CLASSROOM, AND COMMUNITY .”

THE SEEDS OF THE FUTURE For Vermonters of all ages, eating locally is simply and naturally a way of life . It is a deeply ingrained, instinctual practice that starts early and stems from a commitment to the land and strong relationships with local farmers . “Kids who grow up on farms, meet farmers, visit farms, and understand how farming works are more likely to make healthy choices,” says Koi Boynton of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, who helps oversee Vermont’s Farm to School program . More than half of Vermont’s schools incorporate Farm to School programs into their curriculum . “A successful Farm to School program integrates the three C’s: cafeteria, classroom, and community,” says Boynton . “Serve farm-fresh food in the cafeteria; integrate farm education into the classroom . Connect to the local community and build a foundation for the future .” Picking a butternut squash, learning how to prepare it for eating, and understanding the math behind selling it to a customer gives students an up-close look at the food system . “The kids start to see the vegetable in a whole new way . They try new things” says Boynton . “They create healthy eating habits, and also gain respect for farming and the importance of agriculture .” This, Boynton says, helps ensure that the food system in Vermont grows even stronger and more integrated in the future . “Healthy kids, viable farms, strong communities – it all works together,” she says . “From seed, to soil, to school, Vermont is building a sustainable food system .”

Vermont Blazes a New African American Heritage Trail STATE OF VERMONT/TOURISM

by Catherine Brooks

ermont history is defined by its people: Native occupation dating back 10,000 years, pivotal Revolutionary War events, crucial Civil War support, U .S . presidents, senators and leaders whose work contributed to the foundation of our country . While a large part of Vermont’s role in our culture is widely known, it is the Green Mountain State’s place in African American history that is not as familiar to many . In order to provide a window into African Americans’ role in shaping the destiny of Vermont and Vermonters, the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing launched the Vermont African American Heritage Trail . Along the trail, visitors will be able to tour destinations and experience exhibits that speak to Vermont’s place in African American history . Executive Director of Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity Curtiss Reed, who played a key part in the development of this trail, noted that census records indicate that Vermont’s African American population has always been a fraction of the

Vermont Vacation Guide 2013

www.VisitVT.com

overall population . However, as Reed observes, “The history is here . African Americans fought alongside Ethan Allen as members of the Green Mountain Boys who brought Vermont to independence in 1777 . And by 1810 we see that Vermont welcomed African Americans to establish roots in this rocky soil as evidenced by enclaves of early black settlers in Hinesburg, Guilford and Grafton .” Reed, a Brattleboro resident whose knowledge and enthusiasm was a catalyst for establishing the Vermont African American Heritage Trail, adds, “It is exciting that this history will be available to Vermont’s many visitors .” Follow the trail to select museums and historical sites that retell the stories of the people, places and stories that populate three centuries of American and African American history in Vermont . Vermonters penned the first constitution in America prohibiting slavery . The year was 1777, just one year after the American Revolution, and the place was a roadside tavern in Windsor . Preserved for visitors, today it is the Old Constitution House State Historic Site (www .historicsites .vermont .gov/constitution) .

Rokeby Museum, a National Historic Landmark and Underground Railroad site, is described as “unrivaled” by the National Park Service . The home and farm of Quaker abolitionists, a new exhibit tells the true stories of fugitives from slavery who were sheltered there in the 1830s . Tours of the home in which this history was created are also available (www .rokeby .org) .

In a related piece, visitors may explore 46 Vermont locations that offer compelling stories of Vermont’s support of the Union cause . Visit New England’s best documented stop on the Underground Railroad, the factory where the gun milling machines that armed the nation were produced, and the resort where Mary Lincoln and her children summered in 1864 . Experience the fervor of abolitionists, the bravery and dedication of Vermont’s soldiers, and the drama of the northern-most land action of the Civil War .

GRANVILLE Moss Glen Falls, Deer Hollow Brook, 30’ Likely the most photogenic waterfall in the state, it is located next to Rte. 100 in Granville Gulf. Large parking area is a few hundred feet up the road from the falls. A boardwalk leads back to the falls, passing Little Moss Glen Falls on the way. HANCOCK Texas Falls, Hancock Brook, 35’ From Hancock, turn west onto Rte. 125. After about 3.5 miles, turn right on the wellsigned road for Texas Falls. There is a paved parking lot across from the falls. Swimming at the falls is not allowed. The bridge over the gorge provides views. LUDLOW Buttermilk Falls, Branch Brook, 35’ This waterfall is located a mile north of Ludlow. Just off Rte. 103, by the VFW, is Buttermilk Falls Road. The falls are near the end of the road, just below the old closed bridge. There are 3 different sets of falls here, about 300 feet apart, with the upper two being the more impressive. QUECHEE Quechee Village Falls, Ottaquechee River, 15’ South on Rte. 4 for about 1.5 miles. Turn right on Quechee Main Rd. Follow into the village of Quechee. The falls are in the center of town.

Drive about 3 miles, until you see the Silver Lake Power Station. Park off the road along Rte. 53, being sure not to block traffic.

Just a little further uphill you will find the trail that leads to the top of the falls and eventually to Silver Lake. WARREN Warren Falls, Mad River, 20’ Take Rte. 100 south out of Warren. In 3.4 miles, there is a large turnout on the right. Park here and follow the trail to the falls, which are downstream (right) from the parking area.
