Athletic activities::
See whether you can swim across 'your' lake, hike in the State forest, the Appalachian trail or the Long Trail, plan a little bike trip along the chain of lakes, play tennis on the public tennis court, or play golf on the nearby course, which is only 2 miles away. Take a stroll along the Buttermilk waterfalls, 2 miles away.
To enjoy the lake, launch the small rowboat or the canoe from the wooden dock for a little trip across the lake or to the Black River. If you are good in fishing, you might even pull up your supper.
Kids activities:
Let the kids paddle in 'your' little boat to the 'sugarhouse' at the lake (maple syrup producer and gift store) two houses down to shop for some (inexpensive) old fashioned candy. They will love to whoosh down the waterslide in Pico, or spoil them with a trip to the famous Vermont Ben and Jerry ice cream factory, You as well as the kids will be impressed with the birthplace of President Coolidge, where you can also visit a Vermont cheese factory.
Shopping and small trips:
Shopping is only minutes away in the quaint typical Vermont town of Ludlow, which has a supermarket, drugstore, hardware store, etc. and a variety of nice restaurants. For fashionable shopping take a little trip to Woodstock. Enjoy a hearty lunch and Vermont beer right next to a murmuring mountain stream in the brewery nearby. For some 'culture', the Weston Summer Theater is in easy reach.
