Winter festivals, resort activities (take a trip to nearby Jay Peak for the indoor waterpark- try the Double Flow Rider Surfing Wave, the only indoor Aqualoop in the US - drop 50' per second, the largest indoor activity river in the country, and many kids play areas. A fully retractable roof and 86 degrees every day of the year!), downhill and alpine skiing at local Jay Peak and Burke Mtns (x-country ski right out your door on Lake Seymour!), sledding, sleighrides, snowshoeing, dogsledding, Llama trekking, iceclimbing and icefishing.

Autumn brings brilliant fall folliage setting the entire Kingdom ablaze with color that beckons 'leaf peepers' to bear witness to the artistic capabilities of nature. The Kingdom is a nature lovers delight- vast forrests, pristine rivers, deep lakes, spectacular vistas, prominent peaks and still marshes. A guide service can lead you to the best place to angle for a trout, spy a falcon, track a deer, navigate a stream, or follow a lost logging road. Many loons and other birds on the lake will entertain you. Visit Haskell Opera House and Library where you can straddle two nations at the world's only international opera house - performances take place in Canada and the audience members sit in the US.
