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.

4. Lamoille Valley Rail Trail

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!

Crystal Lake State Park was the perfect choice of the many lakes in the area. The lake had plenty of parking, picnic tables, boat rentals,and a large bathhouse to shower and change. Crystal Lake is a glacial lake approximately 3 miles long and one mile wide. In places it is over 100 feet deep and great for fishing. We enjoyed this peaceful location at it offered expansive lawns in which to sit and a very large white sand beach for swimming. The water was comfortable for swimming. We enjoyed a nice picnic and spent a lazy afternoon relaxing in this beautiful location.

My wife and I ski regularly at Burke Mt...On weekdays, we roll out of bed from our nearby house as late as we like and are on the Mt. by 10...and its all yours...There are no lines, no crowds, even the celebrated ski academy (Mikaela Shiffrin trained there) has its own dedicated lift and trail. When it is fully open (takes a bit longer than the mega resorts) the upper mountain provides a sweet variety of well groomed dark blues that tend to go straight down the mountain and are therefor quite consistently challenging for the average intermediate. I can't speak for the quality of the tree skiing, nor the ungroomed blacks, but suspect that they don't compare to big brother Jay; 40 minutes or so up the road. But if you have young uns with you or are a novice adult, the lower mountain is one of the more perfect places to develop skills. There is a moving carpet for beginners (not teeny-tiny either), followed by a T-bar which opens a substantial novice slope. Once you master that run, you can take the lower mountain chair, which opens a wide but lengthy green, perfect for further skill development with even two light blues available. The whole is perhaps among the best beginning to novice area in Vermont and the main chair is modern and fast. Combine all of this with being able to observe the training of some of the hottest, young skiers in the world, a new large scale hotel situated right between the upper and lower mountain and you have the perfect recipe for a family ski week. And weekends? Yeah, there are a few more people, you might have to wait 45 seconds to get on the lift.

This is a wonderful little hike (under 5 miles) up a mountain with a great view point (the NORTH spur view is best) and further on good southern views.

Very easy and nice ride from the town waterfront along the beautiful lake, Prouty Beach is a good stop to cool down along the way with even a disc golf course.
