There are plenty of mountains, forests, lakes and streams, but very few people. Nature is ready to provide your favorite outdoor activity. Hiking opportunities are unlimied. The Long Trail connects the region's highest peaks, Camel's Hump and Mount Mansfield, a dozen miles north. Hikers can climb atop Camel's Hump in about three hours.
Hikers can simply descend, or use the summit as the beginning of a journey of days or weeks.
Walking routes in the Mad River Valley can add to your enjoyment. Maps of hiking, biking, boating and back road tours, camping areas and points of interest are available. Back Roads Bike Tours, a detailed guide to routes for intermediate bikers, is also available. Dozens of lakes and ponds provide boat launches and excellent fishing opportunities. Covered bridges dot the landscape.
