For something a little different… Have you ever seen the movie “Bridges of Madison County” starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. A wonderful romance. Well Vermont has a lot of wonderful history and loads of covered bridges to visit. See above suggested itinerary. 

These are just a small sample that we have in our local area. Why not pack a picnic and go for a drive. Browns River, Grist Mill, Power House, Jaynes, Montgomery & Fairfax covered bridges, each have their own history.

Go and make your own memories on a scenic drive through our area. You never know what you may see along the way!

  Another great day out is a loop drive around Lake Champlain or Ausable Chasm NY or both! 

The refreshing thing about Lake Champlain, apart from the gorgeous, Adirondack-flanked Lake itself is its lack of bustle and over-development. There is lots to do, like hike, golf, camp and take boat cruises, go fishing, but the beauty is, how easy it is to not do anything. Lake Champlain is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the country! 

 Check out these numbers for a glimpse of why Lake Champlain stands out: 500 miles of shoreline, Depths of up to 400 feet, 80 species of fish, 120 miles long, And 70 islands. That’s pretty impressive! Legend even has it that “Champy” the lake monster lives here!!!!

Ausable Chasm is known as the Grand Canyon of the Adirondacks, a sandstone gorge that offers incredible views, various hiking trails, and waterfalls. There are five miles of hiking trails for you to explore, including the scenic Inner Sanctum and Rim Walk trails. In the summer, go rafting or tubing along the river to beat the heat. You can also rock climb, rappel, and go on an obstacle course. Before you leave, pop by the Visitor Center to learn more about Ausable Chasm’s geological history.
