A scenic lake in Vermont that is called "America's Lucerne."
Maybe the most beautiful lake in Vermont. There is hiking all around, most notably the mount Pisgah hike provides amazing views!

Artist and author Stephen Huneck created the one-of-a-kind Dog Chapel to be in his words, “A place where people can go and celebrate the spiritual bond they have with their dogs. It is the largest artwork of my life and the most personal.” Thousands of people from around the world visit the Dog Chapel each year. The interior walls are covered floor to ceiling with photos, drawings, letters, and keepsakes left as memorials to beloved departed pets. The chapel is a place of quiet and colorful beauty, gentle humor, and profound love. A visit there is a unique and moving experience for all animal lovers. “When you visit the Dog Chapel you are totally enveloped with messages of love. It is a very moving experience - sad, certainly, but also uplifting - to see how much everyone cherishes his or her dog. Grieving for a lost dog is one aspect of the Dog Chapel, but equally important is celebrating the joy of living and the bond between dogs and their owners.” -Stephen Huneck
For anyone who ever loved and lost their dog, this place will be a must if you are in the area. The beautiful chapel was built to honor all dogs. It was sad and heart warming to see all the notes left by dog owners for their departed pets. The store has many dog gift items to choose from. There are walking paths too. Check out the web site. The site is just off the main road where the statue is located. I hope this helps.

Dog Mountain is a nonprofit set on 150 acres on a private mountain top spot in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The grounds are open from dawn til dusk to people and their dogs. Artist Stephen Huneck and his wife, Gwen, bought the property in 1995. They turned the barn into studio space. After Stephen’s unique visionary experience, the world famous Dog Chapel was built. The unspoiled haven is covered with hiking trails and dog ponds. Wildflowers abound in the summer and snow-shoeing is a favorite activity in the winter. Year after year, the Dog Chapel and the Stephen Huneck Gallery get more and more visitors from all over the world. Leashes are optional on Dog Mountain. Dogs are not just welcome here, they are cherished! Dogs are free to run, play, swim and, best of all, meet other dogs! It's great to hear from travelling visitors and local residents alike how much Dog Mountain means to them and their dogs.
was able to bring our dog off her leash and let her run free. nice well maintained trails. beautiful views.

Our roots are deep in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. On our 800 beautiful acres we sustainably harvest premium maple sap to make into the finest Vermont Pure Maple Syrup and other pure maple products like our maple cream, maple sugar, maple candy, maple crunch pancakes and maple sugared donuts. We have maple creemees year round and stop by in the winter for homemade chili or soup with a steamed hot dog. Snowmobile and ATV accessible!
What a find! We were staying in Averill at Quimby Country and they suggested this spot, what a great place! Two tacos and an ice cream sundae for $10! Delicious is an understatement, fast and friendly service and I just wish I lived closer as I would be a regular customer!

We did a tour with Steve and he was fabulous. He engaged my kids at their levels (not an easy task when they range in age from 5-11). They were so excited to learn about the syrup-making process, the survival of the sugar maple, the balance of nature and the history. My daughter came away asking to walk in the woods and listen for the "song" of the sap dripping into the buckets. It was truly a magical experience for them. The syrup tasting at the end was so educational for the kids. They came away appreciating the difference in the taste of syrup at different times in the season and an understanding of the "why" behind the different tastes. I would highly recommend a visit.

Background. For some reason, Trip Advisor lists the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail (LVRT) as in St. Johnsbury. While there is a smaller section of LVRT there, a larger section is open between Jeffersonville, Johnson, and Morrisville. Jeffersonville is near Smuggler's Notch and Morrisville is near Stowe, each of which are year round resorts. -If riding from Morrisville to Johnson, you will have more "uphill" on your return ride to Morrisville. One weekend we rode Jeffersonville (near Smuggler's Notch) to Johnson (and return). Another weekend we rode Morrisville (near Stowe) to Johnson (and back). Highlights. Both directions are beautiful and alternate between riding through trees and farmland. Key points are as follows: Jeffersonville Access -Access is across the road from Jack F Corse (a fuel company), 5812 VT-15, Jeffersonville, VT. -Bike rentals available right on the trail. Bootlegger Bicycle's rents the bikes. -Port-o-let, parking, and play area all next to trail. -Jeffersonville restaurants just down the road (not on trail). Morrisville -Access is at Oxbow Riverfront Park, 257 Portland St., Morrisville, VT. -Port-o-let and parking next to trail (behind Port-o-let). -At least two restaurants on the trail (one right near Oxbow Park, Lost Nation Brewery maybe a mile down the trail (towards Johnson). -If riding from Morrisville to Johnson, you will have more "uphill" on your return ride to Morrisville. Johnson -While we didn't stop at Johnson, they have a rest stop right on trail. The rest stop is on west side of Johnson. It has a port-o-let, a picnic bench, and potable water for refilling your water bottles. Plus they there is a detailed wall map. -If riding from Johnson to Morrisville, you will have more "uphill" on to Morrisville. We really enjoyed these two rides and we're sure we'll ride them again this summer!

A public library with an art gallery.
This is the downtown free local library and a museum. The architecture is stunning. The staff is knowledgeable and its fun to be able to explore on your own. Everyone is welcome to sit, read, or just browse the eclectic art. One section of the painting collection is roped off and there is a $5 charge. If you like libraries, history, or art, this is well worth a visit. There is on-street parking, shopping and restaurant nearby.
