Day Trips In and Around StJ
Willoughby Loop
Although the far point is within 45 minutes, this loop trip can be done over and over again depending on the weather and your sense of adventure: antique shops, covered bridges, general stores, mountains to hike, panoramic views, and museums to mention a few. Make this journey as long or as short as you have time for.
The Wine and Cheese Loop
Known to new and old friends as a great way to taste bits of what Vermont is known for: maple syrup, outstanding cheese, and unique fruit wines. Of course, a pass through Marshfield cannot be done without a stop at Rainbow Sweets!
Don't forget the Robert Frost Loop
Often, the term "North Country" encompasses not just the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont but also the Northern Whites of New Hampshire. What is a trip to New England with a jaunt over the Connecticut River to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. In Lisbon you will find the Robert Frost Museum, Sugar Hill Polly's Pancake House, and Bath, with a spectacular covered bridge.
Parlez-vous Francais?
Even if you don't, be sure to bring your passport and take this day trip to a Lavendar Farm in Quebec. A journey that feels as if you have stopped off in Europe.
A Taste of Greens
Travel this road through the northern Green Mountains to get a tast of adventure and natural foods. Gather butter, cheese, yogurt, maple products, and the best bacon sausage you ever ate! Then make room for fine dining by skiing, kayaking, sled dog rides, and antiquing along the way.
South along the Connecticut
Whether on bike, paddling, or by car, traveling south along the Connecticut River takes you through small villages with views of river dams and the New Hampshire Whites. Groton State Park offers a respite for hiking or picnicing.
