ur state byways—a network of 10 well-signed and well-mapped scenic routes—wind around Vermont’s mountain peaks and travel through valley towns. They range in length from 14 to more than 400 miles, meandering along rivers, bisecting forests and opening up to rolling farmland.

Farmers, restaurateurs and food producers of all varieties dot the byway system ready to share their offerings—they know that a fun day of exploration works up a hunger and thirst.

The Chews & Brews itineraries recommend farms to visit, farmers markets, vineyards, breweries, maple sugar houses, cheesemakers and tasting tours of all kinds.

Many of these attractions are small, family-run operations, and some operate on a larger scale, but most offer a closer look at production processes and delicious samples. Chews & Brews itineraries can be followed in conjunction with any—or OKTOBERFEST, MOUNT SNOW

all—of the other themed recommendations for travel along the byways including Arts & Culture, History & Heritage and Outdoor Recreation. Find these itineraries online or request a brochure at www.vermontvaca tion.com/byways Those interested in combining farm visits with artist studio tours will enjoy Palate to Palette recommendations. This map provides 134 recommendations for food-, farm- and arts-centric exploration from Route 4 southward along byways, local roads and main thoroughfares. Southern Vermont has a diverse artisan culture of local foods and artistic exposition. Points of interest on this map highlight the region’s producers of Vermont-grown products, farms where the production takes place, performance and visual art venues and farmers markets—where arts, crafts, specialty products, produce and live performances often merge. Plan a farm stay or attend a workshop to maximize your time on the land. Find the map at Visitors Centers and businesses in southern Vermont, or view it online at www. vermontvacation.com/itineraries Looking for more variety? Create custom itineraries using the filters available at Dig In Vermont. Visit www.diginvt.com and click on “Trails” to choose from more than 500 customizable experiences or create your own. This website is a comprehensive resource for all things Vermont food related and it allows users to build a list of places to visit. Users can save their trail to access it again later—perhaps from the road—as well as share trails on social media, email, in print, or even name and submit unique trails to the site, making them available to other users.

Several thematic passports are available for visitors to take along on tasting trails.

They all follow a similar principle: get a stamp in your passport for each visit along the trail and redeem a full passport for exclusive prizes. Challenge your friends the next time you visit a participating location and be sure to pick up your Vermont Brewery Challenge passport, Vermont Winery Passport or Vermont Bakery Tour passport and get started.

FOODIE EVENTS Farms across Vermont open their doors to the public for one week each August to celebrate Vermont’s agricultural heritage. Open Farm Week provides visitors the opportunity to step onto farms—many of which are not typically open to the public—for a behind the scenes peek into farm life. Nearly 100 farms participate throughout the week by hosting special events, dinners and activities the whole family can enjoy together. Every farm is unique and the experiences they offer reflect their individual charms. Meet the farmers during live demonstrations or take the matter into your own hands and try milking a cow or harvesting a ripe vegetable. Experience the working landscape first-hand and create a genuine connection with the bountiful harvest.

Farm locations, hours of operation and a list of events are posted on www.diginvt. com each summer. Open Farm Week also happens to be one of the filters on the website’s “Trails” page, so save your favorite events and plan a week’s worth of farming fun.

Vermont is jam-packed with foodie festivals and events all year long. As the snow starts to melt away in late spring, sugarmakers fire up their evaporators during Maple Open House Weekend, giving visitors behind-the-scenes access to another busy agricultural season in the state. Countless wine and beer festivals occur during all

four seasons and often feature local snacks alongside the libations. Apples are ripe for the picking at pick-your-own orchards throughout autumn and festivals pop up around the state to celebrate the star of each harvest. Look for the Blueberry Festival, Garlic and Herb Festival, Golden Honey Festival, Vermont Cheesemakers Festival, Strolling of the Heifers and the annual Ice Bar for a taste of Vermont.

ELLEN DUBE

Experiencing Vermont’s culinary offerings is a delicious way to explore the state, but it can also be rewarding. Take apple picking to the next level and look out for a wooden apple hanging in the branches.

Vermont’s Apples to iPods challenge rewards those who “pick” one of the wooden apples with a brand new Apple device. The more participating orchards you visit during the fall campaign, the better your odds of winning. Visit www. vermontvacation.com/apples-to-ipods for details.

Vermont’s scenic roadways lead to delicious, local cuisine lovingly prepared by creative chefs, specialty food producers and passionate farmers. There aren’t enough hours in the day to taste it all, but you can extend your experience with a culinary themed lodging package and continue your tasting tour into the late night variety.

BLUEBIRD BARBECUE, BURLINGTON

Big Bites and Tasty BBQ

by Steven Cook BLUEBIRD BARBECUE

W

IN RECENT YEARS VERMONT HAS EXPERIENCED AN EXPLOSION OF WORLD-CLASS BARBECUE RESTAURANTS THAT ARE GAINING ATTENTION THROUGHOUT NEW ENGLAND.

hile there have been many new restaurants that have joined the scene, the tried and true favorites continue to push the boundaries of barbecue innovation. From modern smokers to age-old fire pits, Vermont is turning locally raised beef, chicken and pork into a delicacy.

Barbecue connoisseurs that visit Vermont are also discovering a growing number of summer barbecue festivals across the state. You don’t have to be an expert in barbecue etiquette or practice to enjoy these hot events-just grab a napkin and your appetite. To find barbecue events and festivals around Vermont, visit www.

VermontVacation.com.

Whether you are in the mood for a cold beer and some smoked pulled pork with a friend or are interested in something a little on the spicier side, you’re in luck.

Here is just a small sampling of some of the exciting barbecue restaurants around the state that will satisfy your smoky craving.

Vermont Vacation Guide 2017

CURTIS’ ALL AMERICAN BARBECUE, PUTNEY There is no Vermont barbecue tale that can begin without mention of Curtis’ All American Barbecue in Putney. Located at Exit 4 off Interstate 91, this has been a pit stop for hungry travelers for the last 45 years. Curtis Tuff fires up his barbecue pit in April and doesn’t stop until late fall each year. This roadside southern barbecue gem is a must stop for those who not only want to enjoy something special, but also want to hear a story or two from the legend himself, Curtis Tuff.

BIG FATTY’S BBQ, WHITE RIVER JUNCTION On your next adventure through Vermont’s Upper Valley be sure to swing into Big Fatty’s barbecue to put your hunger to rest. While most consider Big Fatty’s one of the best local pit stops for pulled pork and smoked chicken, they are also known for their fantastic salad bar.

Big Fatty’s was named one of the Upper

Valley’s top kid friendly restaurants so you can be sure there is something to please the entire family.

THE BACK BEHIND, KILLINGTON Located in one of Vermont’s most popular ski towns, visiting the Back Behind Hickory Smokehouse is truly a one of a kind experience. This authentic smokehouse can easily be identified by the pink pig-shaped smoker that gently wafts sweet hickory clouds onto Route 100 and the dining caboose. This is the place to be if you’re looking for a good time, a cold local beer, and the best dry rubbed chicken wings. Every menu item is created from scratch, be it soups, breads, desserts, sauces or entrees. At The Back Behind you will have a truly unique experience.

LOCALFOLK SMOKEHOUSE, WAITSFIELD Just minutes from Sugarbush Resort and Mad River Glen, Localfolk is every outdoor enthusiast’s barbecue oasis with a view. Its name fits the personality nicely

because the restaurant is a local favorite on any given night. Here you will find a mouthwatering menu, a fantastic selection of 25+ beers on tap, and live music that will get your bones moving most weekends. Late nighters need not worry as the smokehouse is open until midnight.

PROHIBITION PIG, WATERBURY At the Prohibition Pig you will find much more than their savory BBQ. Located in downtown Waterbury, “the Pig” also brews some tasty craft beer to compliment just about anything on their menu, but especially their chopped pork BBQ sandwich or sliced beef brisket. The Prohibition Pig is known for their local grass-fed all beef burgers. No visit is complete without an order of their special duck fat fries.

SUNSET GRILLE & TAP ROOM, STOWE If holding a cold beer in one hand and a rack of baby back ribs in the other while watching sports is your thing, then the Sunset Grille & Tap Room is your place.

After 27 years of operation, the Sunset Grille has become a local landmark with its family friendly outdoor seating and backyard. Their smoked meats, beer menu and plethora of televisions broadcasting every sport you could possibly imagine give the Sunset a warm and inclusive feel.

If you are a member of the late night crowd it is important to know that the kitchen here stays open until midnight.

CURTIS' ALL AMERICAN BARBECUE, PUTNEY CURTIS' ALL AMERICAN BARBECUE THE BACK BEHIND

BLUEBIRD BARBECUE, BURLINGTON Located in the vibrant and more urban city of Burlington, the Bluebird BBQ experience is summed up with these words: “I’ll have another!” Bluebird’s owner and operator Sue Bette has traveled across the United States to refine her trade and bring home some of the best features of American barbecue. All of the meats served on the Bluebird’s menu are smoked on the premises in an impressive smokehouse. Along with a stellar barbecue menu that features items like their “15 Hour Brisket” (dry rubbed, Texas style, hand carved to order), the Bluebird also boasts an extensive beer and cocktail list.

Dual Sport Adventure Riding Through Vermont

by Eric Milano

With miles of dirt and gravel roads Vermont is ideal for adventure bike and dual sport motorcycle experiences.

T

he group stared quizzically at the fuel pump in front of the Ripton Country Store. One rider finally spoke up, “Where does the card go?” “No card swipers here,” I reply.

“Just flip the switch and pump, you don’t even need to pre-pay,” I add. This was a foreign notion for the Boston-based group I was leading. They had come to Vermont to escape their high profile jobs and the bustle of their busy lives in the city. The group had rented dual-purpose motorcycles (motorcycles suited for onpavement and off-pavement riding) and it was my job to show them a side of Vermont few visitors get to experience.

Back at the store the group had made their way inside and were perusing the ancient relics collected by the store keepers during its 140 years of service. The cashier stood behind a giant register as old as the hand-hewn wood floor planks we were standing on. She greeted each customer, mostly by name, as they entered the store. “Could you tell me where the Frost cabin is?” I asked. “It’s your third dirt road on the left, couple miles

down,” the storekeep replied. “He was good friends with my father you know; he used to come over to my house for dinner all the time when I was a little girl,” she nonchalantly added. For 42 years (1921–1963) poet Robert Frost summered in Ripton, Vermont and taught at Middlebury College’s Bread Loaf campus.

Pulling out of the store, the pristine blacktop of Route 125 undulates up through the Middlebury Gap past the Bread Loaf ski area and drops back down into the Mad River Valley. We turn off on a dirt road, disembark and continue on foot a few hundred feet to the rustic cabin where Frost spent each summer in Vermont. We are the only ones there.

Sitting on Mr. Frost’s porch and gazing out over the magnificent landscape to the south, we immediately understand why this place was so inspiring to Robert Frost. We agree that we could sit there all afternoon, but this is a motorcycle ride and there is a lot more to see. I give the group the choice to ride the beautiful paved roads around the mountain range or cut directly over on gravel forest roads.

The choice they make is one I was hoping for. Into the forest we go.

The forest road begins to get narrower and we soon pass a sign that states: “road not maintained by town.” The road condition becomes dramatically less smooth.

Small stones turn to good size rocks and little puddles turn to steady stream crossings. The bikes we are riding can handle it, but I slow down and check in with the group. As they pull up next to me I can tell from their ear-to-ear smiles that they are doing just fine. “You guys want more?” I yell through my helmet. Three thumbs go up. I turn off the main trail onto an old town road that has been discontinued for several hundred years. The narrow road becomes an even narrower trail as we dodge overgrown bushes and tree branches. I warn the group of an upcoming bridge that is washed out and point out the ancient stone walls lining the trail, but just barely visible through the 250 years of moss growing on them.

Shortly we approach a clearing and disembark from our motorbikes. “This is my favorite cemetery in Vermont,”

I announce as I walk up a narrow path between two towering stone walls. You can barely make out the dates and names on the tombstones, but they are there and the group is reveling between the excitement of the trail we just encountered and the untouched history we are standing beside.

I can tell the riders are getting tired, but there is one more obstacle to tackle before we end the day; that bridge is still out and I do not like to backtrack. We approach the river where the bridge once spanned, but it is long gone. I signal the other riders to hold back as I attempt the crossing.

The front of my bike disappears in front of me as I ride down the steep embankment into the cold, rushing water of the Fox Brook. I stand on my foot pegs trying to balance the 500+ pound machine bouncing over slippery rocks beneath me.

As I approach the opposite bank I apply some good throttle to propel the bike safely out of the river, but the back tire hits a wet stone and skips to the side a foot or so. I counter-balance my weight and barely prevent the bike from tipping on its side. The riders tackle the obstacle one at a time, some requiring more help than others, but we get each bike through. After a spirited exchange of high fives, hugs and thank yous we continue.

MOTOVERMONT

The day ends as we pull into the Inn at Baldwin Creek in Bristol. Chef Doug is outside roasting fresh chicken on an open spit and the scent reminds us of the appetite we’ve worked up that day.

After a hot shower, dinner is ready and the craft beer is flowing. The next day’s adventure is the main topic of conversation.

ccording to the Top 10 lists du jour, Vermont polls well for best beer, best cheese, most maple syrup produced, best for outdoor recreation; and our cities and towns rank competitively for best museums, best college towns, prettiest downtowns and best locations for working moms. As tourism promoters, we are sure to let you know as soon as Vermont tops one of the myriad of Top Ten lists.

However, we are more humble about the other things Vermont is becoming best at – most innovative tech hubs, top five states for start-up activity, top 10 for clean technology and best places for post-grad living to name a few.

ERIN COFIELL

Erin Sigrist, President, Vermont Retail and Grocers Association

Why did you choose Vermont?

Having grown up in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, I was lucky enough to know all my life what natural beauty was. I was actually reluctant to move to what some people deem ‘one of the most rural states in the nation.’ But when I rolled in to Vermont, following my thenpartner who had accepted a job at one of the distinguished universities in this beautiful state, the mountains quickly welcomed me. Shortly after, the people and the lifestyle really made Vermont home.

What keeps you here?

I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked my way up in a career that I really enjoy. As the new president of the Vermont Retail and Grocers Association, my job allows me to travel the state visiting with business owners and community leaders. I get to hear the stories of everyday lives across the state and bring them

Vermont Vacation Guide 2017

It can often be overheard being said by visitors from more urban areas – “I wonder what people do here?” The answer is simple – we live, work and play here. Vermont’s becoming a hub for many industries including alternative energy and tech, and is known for strong medical, educational and outdoor recreation industries. We would like to introduce you to a few people who have a drop of Vermont in them. They have made the choice to live, work and play in Vermont because they couldn’t get it out of their system. with me as I advocate on behalf of job creators in the capital. And, there is always something to do when you’re looking for fun. Weekends are packed with farmers markets, golfing on some of the best courses in the Northeast, hiking the stunning mountains, playing in the unspoiled lakes, skiing in the winter, spending time with friends at fantastic restaurants, and year-round shopping in beautiful downtowns.

call from my uncle, who is a member at the Burlington Country Club in Vermont, making me aware of an opportunity for a position as the Food and Beverage Director, which was a promotion from my then-position and a huge stepping stone for my future. Not only was I attracted to the idea of building my resume, but I also used to love to visit Vermont with my family as I was growing up.

Michael Joppich, Food and Beverage Director, Burlington Country Club Why did you choose Vermont?

Vermont’s recreational activities and lifestyle are a huge draw for me. I enjoy snowboarding, so I found it exciting that I would be closer to the mountains, and being close to Lake Champlain was also important as I like to go boating with friends. I am an avid golfer, so working at Vermont’s premier golf course made my decision much easier when contemplating such a huge move. My transition was very easy with the friendly and welcoming people who I have built friendships with and I now have a difficult time imagining my life anywhere else.

Growing up in a family who is passionate about golf, I knew that I wanted a career in this field. After graduating from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Hospitality Management, I started this path and became a supervisor at a local country club. I received a phone

What keeps you here?

Erin Cofiell, Sports Director, WFFF/WVNY Why did you choose Vermont?

I grew up in Glastonbury, CT, a suburb of Hartford. Before moving to Vermont I spent many years living in Louisiana. I loved it down there, but after a while I started to miss so many things about New

England. The obvious ones including being close to friends and family, but also the seasons – things like the leaves changing and SNOW! I grew up in a snowmobile family, so that was definitely a big incentive to come back too.

When the opportunity to work for the news station Local 22 and 44 came up, I jumped at it. I am the station’s sports director, and the first female to hold that title in the market – an opportunity I may not have had elsewhere. I cover high school and collegiate athletics as well as host a weekly segment called Darin’ Erin.

It’s a new and different sports scene here that I have been able to explore. Outside of work there’s mountain biking and hiking, car racing and more. That’s just in the summer!

What keeps you here?

First and foremost, it’s the people. In the two years I’ve been here, I’ve met so many people, from so many different walks of life. It’s one of the best things about Vermont. After that, it’s the opportunity for adventure. No matter the season, there’s mountains to be climbed, bike paths to be ridden, snowmobile trails to be explored. Never a dull moment, that’s for sure! There’s also creemees here –that’s a major factor too!

Amanda Richardson, Associate Director, Castleton Polling Institute and Tyler Richardson, Assistant Director, Rutland Economic Development Corporation Why did you both choose Vermont?

We moved to Vermont in June of 2015 from Nebraska, where we had both lived for the majority of our lives. We wanted to do something different and experience other parts of the country–we were ready for an adventure! As luck would have it, Amanda found a wonderful career opportunity in Rutland as the Associate Director at the Castleton Polling Institute, where she was able to build off her prior experience and use her expertise to help grow a thriving survey research center. Giving a voice to Vermonters through polling, and putting Vermont on the map as a provider of sound survey research instruments, has given Amanda an opportunity to impact her community in remarkable ways.

What keeps you here?

As so many people do, we fell in love with Vermont. Every season in Vermont is perfect, and matched with the natural beauty that surrounds us every day makes Vermont feel like paradise. Tyler took a big chance moving here as he left a great career back in Nebraska, but he connected to a wonderful career opportunity with the Rutland Economic Development Corporation in a short amount of time.

Tyler works to support a thriving regional economy by connecting businesses and entrepreneurs with the resources they need for success. And Rutland is truly thriving, moving forward on momentum generated by the concerted efforts of the community’s leaders and it’s a wonderful place to call “home.”

We found you can bring your experience here and grow your career. There is a lot of opportunity in Vermont! The community here has been so supportive and we’ve made great new friends. The size of the state and the connectedness of the people give us the ability to make a real difference in our community.

Kathleen Kolva, Sales Manager, Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing Why did you choose Vermont?

After completing my MBA, my husband and I moved quite a few times to pursue career opportunities; from Massachusetts to Ohio to Connecticut in a three-year time span. However every time we moved, the careers weren’t enough to make us happy. In the summer of 2015, we spent a lot of time reflecting on what we wanted in life, and realized that we needed to prioritize our work-life balance, and that we wanted to be somewhere where we could enjoy the LIFE part of that equation. Many of these thought-provoking discussions occurred on our frequent weekend road trips from Connecticut to Vermont. More and more often we were headed to Vermont for camping, swimming, beer tasting, and relaxation. Therefore, it seemed like the obvious next step to seek out that worklife balance in the Green Mountain State.

So when the opportunity presented itself for me to become the Sales Manager for the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing, I leapt at it. This position is a fantastic culmination of my education, experiences, and skills. I still have much to learn about my new home state, and I relish exploring it.

What keeps you here?

It is the work-life balance that keeps us happy here in Vermont. This is the first time that neither of us has to contend with a 60+ minute, traffic-ridden commute. We get home from work, and the Vermont summer sun is still high in the sky, and we think what can we do tonight?! Hike, swim, explore, eat, drink, visit with new friends? We feel like kids again enjoying the simple pleasures of being outdoors in the summer. www.VermontVacation.com

Distinctive Vermont Inns and Unique Experiences

There are many aspects to Vermont travel that make the state a unique destination which stands apart from almost anywhere else in the United States.

orld-class ski resorts, breathtaking natural scenery, stunning fall foliage, and artisan shops that produce authentic products of the highest quality quickly come to mind as reasons people keep coming back to the Green Mountain State for their vacations.

Another profound travel experience offered across Vermont that has made the state a timeless destination for tourists from far and wide: the unmatched allure and personalized hospitality of its historic inns. Often nestled in small towns and villages that have been inhabited for centuries, the inns of Vermont bring travelers back to a day where overnight stays offer all of the comforts of visiting the home of a dear friend or family member.

houses, village green and Summer Theater is like a scene right of a movie,” said Steve Bryant, owner of The Dorset Inn on the Green, Vermont’s oldest continuously operated inn in Dorset, established in 1796. “A stay at the Dorset Inn is authentic and wholly unique.”

The interior of The Dorset Inn is equally as charming as the surrounding village.

Suites feature elegant furniture and bedding, inviting living room spaces, fireplaces and hot tubs for maximum relaxation.

NORTH HERO HOUSE

The guest rooms and suites at many of Vermont’s inns are individually designed and decorated, each offering plush, personalized touches of comfort. Some rooms feature vintage or antique furnishings, while others present guests with more modern or contemporary styles.

Such elegance and uplifting décor is also the norm at many other Vermont inns.

At the vast majority of Vermont’s inns and bed and breakfasts, guests can expect to be welcomed with a personalized touch.

From selecting rooms of their choice, to friendly introductions and tours of the property, to tips on the best local places to go, the folks who run Vermont’s inns make every effort to make sure their visitors are comfortable.

“We make a special effort to connect with each guest, find out where they’re from, what they like to do and enhance their stay,” said Walt Blasberg, owner of the North Hero House, which is nestled along the shore of the beautiful Champlain Islands and offers spectacular views of Lake Champlain.

At Rabbit Hill Inn, the innkeepers want their guests to be welcomed in a manner that is relaxed. “Guests really enjoy not being anonymous. They like being addressed by name and having conversations with the people who own the property,” said Leslie Mulcahy, co-owner of the property with her husband Robert, who purchased Rabbit Hill Inn two decades ago.

THE DORSET INN, DORSET THE DORSET INN

UNIQUE DINING Adding to the inviting ambiance at many Vermont inns are restaurants featuring award-winning chefs, elegant and upbeat dining rooms and menus featuring locallysourced products of the highest quality. At the Red Clover Inn, the large dining room with plenty of windows and a sizable fireplace make the restaurant a centerpiece of the property. Add in the services of the friendly, attentive staff, and it’s easy to see why dining there is such a treat. “It’s exciting to see people, who never stayed at an inn or bed and breakfast before

The restaurant at The Dorset Inn is a cozy New England tavern that gets most of its products from Vermont farms and businesses. At the Barrows House in Dorset, the American Pub pays homage to the local Norcross-West Marble Quarry with white marble accents and historic black and white photos highlighting the décor.

“Guests who choose to come to inns are looking for that one-on-one interaction with the innkeepers.

It’s an important part of our jobs and we enjoy it too.

That’s why we do it.” ~ Mike Marrano, Innkeeper at the Vermont Inn can stroll along a beautiful landscape in any direction.

The Tavern area at the Four Columns Inn is another central attraction to guests and is one of many premier spots to grab a drink at one of Vermont’s inns. The bar areas at the Vermont Inn and Tracks at the Pitcher Inn in Warren, offer up lively, yet relaxed drinking areas that provide guests with worthwhile options for an evening of fun while staying on the property.

The Inn at Shelburne Farms is not alone in offering lovely grounds. At Rabbit Hill Inn, trails for hiking are accessible behind the inn.

If an urban setting strikes your fancy, Made INN Vermont and the Willard Street Inn located in Burlington are just a few blocks away from the beautiful Church Street Marketplace walking mall and offer superb accommodations. The Inn at Montpelier in Vermont’s capital city is another cozy urban destination.

“The place is gorgeous, we did a very eclectic, Burlington-style design,” said Linda Wolf, owner of Made INN Vermont. “Our guests feel they’re taken care of and don’t feel part of the masses.

These special moments are creating lasting memories.”

Wrapped in the cozy confines of quaint towns or villages, with innkeepers dedicated to making your visit memorable, it’s nearly impossible to not feel right at home as soon as you walk in the door of one of Vermont’s lovely inns.

Mike Marrano, Innkeeper at the Vermont Inn sums it up well, “Thirty to forty percent of our guests are repeat guests.

Guests who choose to come to inns are looking for that one-on-one interaction with the innkeepers. It’s an important part of our jobs and we enjoy it too. That’s why we do it.”

Agricultural Fairs, Field Days, Festivals and Art and Craft Shows Fairs in Vermont are a cultural tradition that date back to a simpler time, when farmers would gather together to show off their latest tools, techniques, and tractors. Today, we still enjoy agricultural fairs, field days, and festivals for the rides, parades, and tractor pulls, specialty food vendors, live animals and live entertainment—these events really are for the whole family.

RESOURCES: BIRDING

Birding In summer and autumn, Vermont is home to hundreds of bird species, from brightly colored blue jays and red-bellied woodpeckers to Vermont’s state bird, the hermit thrush. The fortunate observer may even catch a glimpse of a peregrine falcon, bald eagle or barred owl.

NO R T Hyou E intend N V T to or not, you may end up watching wildlife while enjoying other great outdoor activities such as hiking or canoeing. Your innkeeper Whether or concierge can direct you to local birding spots, and you might even find organized birding excursions in your area.

Be sure to dress in layers and bring snacks and water in a day pack, even if you’re planning a short trip. If you’re planning to hike, supportive, waterproof CE footwear is a must, and be sure to check the weather report prior to setting out. Field guides are a good idea for identifying the birds and animals that you find. No matter how tame a wild animal may appear, do not approach them. Don’t forget your binoculars! Many wildlife preserves and birding areas do have sections that are closed to the public, so be aware of signs and fencing.

Equestrian Resources The vigor and quality of Vermont’s equestrian community is one of its best kept secrets. The Morgan Horse, developed in Vermont, is the Vermont State Animal, and is still a strong part of Vermont’s agriculture and evolving heritage.

A bit of Vermont horse trivia: • The University of Vermont “government” line of Morgan Horse is one of the best in the world.

• More than 100,000 acres of Vermont land is kept open by horses.

• The equine industry is Vermont’s second largest agricultural industry.

Lodging with Equestrian Boarding

Vermont offers both novice and experienced riders the opportunity to stable or rent horses, enjoy ring and trail rides, see horses and riders show their best, and relax and enjoy the summer and fall scenery on horseback or in a wagon ride. Use the resources below to make horseback riding part of your Vermont vacation.

Trails on State Lands This section highlights some of the popular and accessible trails on state lands in Vermont.

Many hiking trails in State Parks are not listed here. Please visit www.vtstateparks.com to locate a State Park hiking trail.

SPRING HIKING – Vermont’s trails are especially vulnerable to damage during the early spring “mud season.” Upper elevation trails are closed during mud season and are open for hiking beginning on Memorial Day weekend. Hikers are asked to avoid all trails that appear muddy or wet during this season to prevent channeling water, loosening soil, and trampling vegetation and soil adjacent to the trail surface.

Swimming Hole Safety: Vermont’s lakeshores and riversides provide many opportunities for swimming at state park and town beaches. Some have lifeguards and others require swimmers to exercise diligence on their own. Swimming holes are a cherished natural resource in Vermont, popular with both residents and visitors. When enjoying a swim at these natural areas, please be aware of rocks, currents and particularly weather changes that can quickly impact the flow and level of the water.
