The Ludlow & Okemo Valley Area have two distinctly different identities. During summer and fall it is very much identified with the string of lakes just north of the village, and as a marketplace for those residing in, or visiting, smaller neighboring communities. In winter, it is thought of as the home of Okemo Mountain Resort…period!
Ludlow: The Ludlow Area [Okemo Valley] is precisely what today’s visitor to Vermont is looking for - a true four-season resort area! In winter, the centerpiece of the Okemo Valley is the Okemo Mountain Resort, and it's newly opened Jackson Gore Base Area. And, although Okemo’s slopes are the main attraction during the winter months, the area is also popular for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and horsedrawn sleigh rides. In short, there's not much one could want and not find here.
Regardless of the season, you'll not be in want for places to eat. The area offers everything from candlelight dining to steak and seafood houses, Chinese or Thai food, a Subway shop and great pizza. Likewise, choices of accommodations are virtually endless and range from full-service hotels and country inns to motels, B&B’s and campgrounds. During the warmer months the five lakes immediately north of town along Route 100 become the center of attention. Here you can swim, sail, canoe, water-ski, fish…or BBQ dinner lakeside in Camp Plymouth State Park. You can rent a canoe for a day, or a lakeside home. Rent a mountain bike and explore the countryside. Or play 18 holes on the 6400 yard, Par 70 Okemo Valley Golf Course without ever leaving Ludlow. Picnic, shop, visit the nearby Calvin Coolidge Homestead, or enjoy an outdoor concert. It is all here in Ludlow, or within a few short minutes! From Vermontlinks.com
