This is the best location a skier could hope for, as there are two mountains full of slopes less than 30 minutes away!

Mt. Okemo, 10 minutes south, features over 100 trails and slopes to ski during the winter. However, when the snow melts, there is still plenty to do, like biking, hiking, and mini-golf.

Mt. Killington, 25 minutes north, features similar skiing opportunities during the winter, as well as biking, hiking, and golfing. Killington also has an “Adventure Center”, where visitors can take a ride on the 4,800-foot alpine coaster, take on an obstacle course, or race on the zip line!

There are also plenty of other hiking opportunities, with multiple state parks surrounding Echo Lake, like Camp Plymouth State Park that is just across the road. Others that are less than an hour away are Coolidge State and Mt. Ascutney State Park.
