Stowe, VT offers year round activities, one of the major draws in this area aside from Stowe Mt. Resort and The Trapp Family Lodge, is the the rec path.
The rec path is 11 miles long and runs from the center of Stowe Village up towards Mt. Mansfield, ending near Topnotch Resort. The path follows the West Branch River and the Mt. Road.
It is great for biking, walking, running in the summer and cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. There are plenty of swimming holes located along the path.
The path is fun for all ages and there are places to stop and eat along the way so you can fully experience all Stowe has to offer. During the summer the Helen Day Art Center hosts Exposed in Stowe, an outdoor art exhibit along the path.
Running next to the paved Rec Path, is the Quiet Path, which is for walking and quiet enjoyment of the natural surroundings, it’s also great for walking your dog off the leash.

Welcome to my new series, Sunsets Throughout the Seasons in Stowe Vermont.
I hope to bring you different sunsets from different times of year and from different locations in Stowe. We have an amazing back drop for most of our sunset, that being Mt. Mansfield and Stowe Mt. Resort.
I hope you enjoy this series and our beautiful town.
The community is being challenged to raise $100,000 in the month of April, in order to claim a generous $25,000 gift for Cady Hill Forest from the Stafford Family Foundation.
The land trust, which has raised nearly $1.2 million toward the $1.56 million project, is urging the community to pitch in and get the job done.
For everyone who has been thinking about giving to the project, we urge you to donate before April 30th so we can claim this gift!
Stowe Land Trust works hard to preserve the land in and around Stowe. This is one of the many reasons Stowe remains pure and natural looking and fantastic. Their new project will help to conserve the Cady Hill Forest for generations to come. What the result will be is 320 acres of town forest preserved and put into use with 11 miles of multi-use trails for hiking, biking, walking the dog, snowshoeing and more. All of this will be a short walk from the village of Stowe. This will add to the many properties that the Stowe Land Trust has preserved and put to community use over the years like Wiessner & Kirchner Woods, H. D. Burnham Farm and Mill Trail Property.
In order to get there the Stowe Land Trust needs to raise the final $450,000 by May 30, 2012. Help Stowe Land Trust reach this goal by donating to help preserve this beautiful land.
