1. Islands and Farms
This region, which comprises much of Lake Champlain, offers all types of opportunities for recreation and exploration. Most people think of the mountains when they think of the Green Mountain State, but there's so much more. Here you can swim, fish, sail, boat, watch birds or just take in the magnificent sunsets. Among the attractions are: Chazyan Reef, which you can access from the Fisk Farm on Isle La Motte.; Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, which boasts one of the world's largest Heron populations; The Vermont Maple Festival in St. Albans; The Vermont Specialty Foods Show; The Sap Run; The Festival Parade; Islands & Farms orchards; The Applefest; and The Vermont Dairy Festival in Enosburg Falls. Each August, sample the delights of another great Applefest, in Montgomery.
2. Stowe-Smugglers' Notch
There's a great deal more than just skiing in this region. The mountains are among the most beautiful in the state and the length of the average day here became a Jeopardy answer. The answer was "Lamoille County." The correct question was, which U.S. county has the shortest day?" That's because Lamoille enjoys two mountain ranges, one dominated by Mount Mansfield to the West and the other, the Worcester range to the East. The region is great for a wide range of activities including, camping, fishing (great fly fishing), biking, hiking, boating, canoeing, kayaking, skiing of all types, great golf, tennis and on and on. Among the attractions are: Mount Mansfield; Stowe Mountain Resort; Smugglers' Notch Resort; Emily's Covered Bridge in Stowe; and Noyes House Museum in Morrisville.
