RECREATION
Summer is dreamy in The Shires. With three state parks and two Federal Recreation Areas to choose from, there’ s no shortage of places to swim, picnic, camp, and canoe. If you prefer guided adventures, expert instructors are available for almost every pursuit. Take a casting lesson while fall foliage lights up the valley. Fly hawks and falcons on Equinox Pond with the mountain peak rising above you.
When cold weather sets in, nearby ski resorts offer hundreds of acres of alpine trails and terrain parks, and miles of groomed cross-country trails, to suit new and accomplished outdoor enthusiasts alike. The Shires also boasts the Northeast’ s most highly ranked ski programs for kids. Off-mountain adventures include skating, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing, and when you need to warm up, settle in at your inn by an open fire with a mug of mulled cider by your side.
