Planning the Perfect Family Vacation for Spring or Summer In Stowe
Though Stowe is a popular destination for winter getaways, the warmer temperatures of spring and summer make this quaint New England town come to life in a different way. The lush green landscapes signal a special time of year, when visitors have access to tons of new activities and adventures that are especially ideal for families.
The convenient location of Meadowstone Manor means luxury travelers will have the best of both worlds with a secluded mountainside getaway that also places them just around the corner from downtown Stowe and many local excursions. After a full day of exploring Stowe and its surroundings, there’s nothing like returning to a cozy vacation rental perfectly equipped for unwinding.
Springtime Activities in Stowe
As the snow melts and the flowers bloom, two very important seasons begin in Vermont: maple sugaring and trout fishing. Starting in February and lasting through late March, maple sugaring season fills the air with enchanting scents as local sugar farms prepare these sweet treats. Anyone interested in watching the process up close can head to Nebraska Knoll Sugar Farm, Stowe Maple Products, or Trapp Family Lodge to catch a glimpse of the action. Meanwhile, anglers of all skill levels can try their hand at catching some trout when the trout fishing season opens in mid-April. Fishermen can go alone or with an expert guide, and in May, free casting clinics are often available at local tackle shops.
Summer Fun For the Whole Family
With the hot temperatures of summer, travelers have access to all the outdoorsy fun that Stowe has to offer. Hiking enthusiasts can hit the trails in the surrounding Green Mountains, while cyclists will find over 50 miles of mountain biking trails. Families in need of a more tranquil route can hop on road bikes and follow along the Stowe Recreation Path. For a different view of town, along with an adrenaline rush, thrill seekers can try the zipline at ArbortTrek Canopy Adventures. Meanwhile, water lovers can canoe, kayak, or paddle board their way through Stowe’s waterways, or cool off with a dip in one of the swimming holes, complete with a picturesque waterfall.
