Stowe's Famous Recreation Path

Here in Stowe, it's known simply as "The Rec Path" and if you haven't explored it yet you will want to put it on your list of things to do in any season. The nearly six mile path starts out above Top Notch and continues through woods and farm fields, eventually crossing the Mountain Road and beyond until it ends behind the church in Stowe Village.

There are plenty of Stowe businesses along the way, including Gracie's Restaurant and the Rusty Nail, where you can enjoy lunch or dinner before finishing your stroll or bike ride.

My most recent trip along the path started at the top, where I was dropped off and ended at the Main Street Market & Deli, where I enjoyed a delicious homemade muffin and a cup of steaming coffee as my reward.

Dogs are allowed, as are bikes, which are easily rented at several locations in Stowe.

Happy Stowe Vacation!
