Flyfishing

In addition to the Ottaquechee, White River, and Otter Creek, in our local area we take trips all over Vermont fishing pristine brooks, rivers, streams, and float tubing ponds. From the trophy section of the Winooski River to the fly fishing only section of the Lamoille, wherever the fish are biting we're there! Clinics are also available.

Bird Watching

Enjoy ducks, geese, loons, Blue Herring, song birds, Robins, Chicadees, Blue Jays and more on scenic hiking trails. Want to watch with less leg work? The Max IV ATV is a great way to enjoy birding!

Hiking

We have almost endless options of trails available providing satisfaction for both novice and experienced hikers. From a short hike up Deer's Leap to a three and a half mile hike up Camel's Hump to hiking the Catamount, Appalachian, and Long Trails, hiking adventures abound.

Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing is great exercise and a wonderful way to explore the beauty of winter nature. Never tried snowshoeing? Start out with a short jaunt around Kent Pond. Ready for a workout? How about a 4 mile excursion up the Bucklin Trail or a section of the Catamount. The popularity of snowshoeing has boomed in recent years as this is THE way to walk in the wild on a winter day.

Camping

We help you design the camping trip most suited to you whether it be in a State Park, near water, or deep in the woods. The Max IV is available to support the trips making for a lighter load and a better array of provisions for the outing.
