Woodstock & Activities

"The good people of Woodstock have less
incentive than others to yearn for heaven."

Jacob Collamer
Vermont Senator & Woodstock Native

Woodstock, Vermont was chartered in 1761, settled in 1768 and soon became the Shire Town, or seat, of Windsor County. As such, the village saw an influx of cultured business and professional people who constructed many of the magnificent homes that still stand to this day. The village has thrived as a popular four-season resort for over a century. Today, the stunning architecture, elliptical Village Green and array of outstanding boutiques, galleries and restaurants, along with an extensive variety of year-round recreational opportunities, continue to attract vistors from around the globe. Woodstock offers year-round diversions and relaxation from low-key, browsing, touring and fishing to the more active hiking, biking and skiing.

Guests seeking more active recreation might want to start with a hike up Mt.Tom. The trails start right around the corner from The Woodstocker and the summit view is breathtaking. Longer, more demandng hikes are just minutes away on both the Appalachian and Long Trails. Pedaling a bike over miles of unpaved roads is a perfect means of exploring the renowned scenic beauty of Vermont's countryside. (Rentals are available locally.) Trout fishing (or a refreshing dip) can be had right across the street in the Ottaquechee River, and abundant freshwater gamefish inhabit numerous nearby lakes and streams. In winter, the Woodstock Ski Touring Center grooms 60 kilometers of scenic, cross-country trails, appropriate for Nordic skiers of all abilities. Alpine skiers will delight in being a short drive from five top-notch ski areas: Killington, Ascutney, Okemo, Pico and Woodstock's own Suicide Six.
