Soak Up the Start of Summer

There's no better time to explore the outdoors. Trails are in prime condition for hiking and biking, the Stowe Recreation Path is alive with walkers and riders, and local waterfalls are flowing strong after spring’s thaw. Looking for a little thrill? It’s a great time to try ziplining, paddling, or tee off at a local golf course.

With patio season in full swing, there is no better time to savor the taste of Stowe this summer. Expect seasonal menus, local ingredients and outdoor dining with a view. Be sure to check out pop-up events, live music on patios and special tastings at area breweries and wineries.
