This is a wonderful time at Sterling Ridge Resort to explore many activities. Kids and adults love our heated pool.

There are hiking trails at Sterling Ridge or a challenging hike on the Long Trail that will take you to the summit of Mt. Mansfield, where you will experience breathtaking panoramic views. A mellower approach to the day could consist of a relaxing walk on our dirt road, through a covered bridge, which leads to Brewster River Park.

If you don't want to walk, take a bicycle ride through beautiful pastoral farms and valleys, placed against a glorious mountain backdrop. Mountain biking is offered at Smugglers' Notch Ski area for those who prefer a more rugged, wooded terrain.

You can also take a scenic canoe trip down the Lamoille River (class 1 water) or enjoy a sunset beaver watch in early evening. Let Green River Canoe schedule your trip.

Another option is horseback riding , pony rides or carriage rides. Guided tours give you a fun ride through woods and babbling brooks. Our scenic rivers offer great trout fishing and unique "swimming holes" with water falls. Green Mountain Troutfitters , just down the road, offers equipment and a guide service to enhance any fishing trip.

Stowe Village is nearby or as we say, "through the Notch". A five mile recreational path is great for cycling, rollerblading or walking. Nearby, one can find an alpine slide, rollerblade park, and a gondola ride to the top of the ski hill on Mt. Mansfield.

There are many unique craft shops, antique stores, and restaurants to discover. A visit to Waterbury is a must, so that you can tour the Ben & Jerry's ice cream factory.
