Bomoseen State Park image
Fair Haven, VT
(Range: 4 miles)
Welcome to Bomoseen State Park. The 3,576-acre park is located in the Taconic Mountains on the shores of Lake Bomoseen, the largest lake entirely within Vermont’s borders. The Taconics are the slate-producing region of Vermont, and the area's history parallels the rise and fall of Vermont's slate industry. The park contains several quarry holes and their adjacent colorful slate rubble piles as reminders of this period. These quarries provided slate for the West Castleton Railroad and Slate Company, a complex of 60 to 70 buildings that stood between Glen Lake and Lake Bomoseen. Several slate buildings and foundations remain in the park. A self-guided Slate History Trail leads hikers through remnants of this bygone era. (Curated content from vtstateparks.com)

Lake St. Catherine Country Club image
(Range: 8 miles)
Established in 1925, “The Lake” began as a nine hole golf course. In the mid 1990’s the course was expanded to 18 and measures 6200 yards. Given the elevation changes throughout the course, it may actually play closer to 6600 yards! If you were to play today, you would experience playing the first 4 holes of the original 9 hole design – a reminiscent walk for our senior members and guests. (Curated content from lakestcatherinecountryclub.com)
Hubbardton Battlefield image
(Range: 9 miles)
The battle of Hubbardton, fought in the green hills of Hubbardton in the early morning of July 7, 1777, was the only Revolutionary War battle fought entirely in what would become Vermont soil. It is one of the most successful rear-guard actions in American history. It was here that British Lieutenant General John Burgoyne's seasoned and well-trained Regulars met the resistance and bravery of Americans in battle for the first time. Lasting between three to five hours, the battle involved approximately 1,200 American soldiers from Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, and 850 British and 180 German troops. (Curated content from historicsites.vermont.gov)
