Recreational Opportunities
Vermont is home to world class, four-season outdoor recreational opportunities in a setting that other areas can only dream of.
Our mountains are not just for skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing in the winter. Golf courses and mountain bike trails wind through them as well, and the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail offer unparalleled opportunities for hiking.
Lake Champlain offers water sports enthusiasts a playground whether their pleasure is sailing, kayaking, canoeing, power boating, or jet skiing.
Vermont also has the greatest variety of high quality freshwater fishing in the Northeast, all in a countryside setting that makes fishing fun and relaxing. More than 280 public lakes and 7,000 miles of streams are home to over 20 different fish species.
But Vermont’s lifestyle is much broader than its outdoors. A vibrant cultural community spans the entire state, from artisans to community theater.
Whether it’s a coffeehouse in Ripton; an alternative movie house in the state capital of Montpelier; or a nightclub in Burlington, Stowe, or Killington, Vermont’s arts and entertainment scene has something for everyone.
