What it’s like around here

East Dorset, Vermont is filled with green mountainous forest and an abundance of hiking trails and swimming holes.

family-friendly outdoor recreational activities

Cutler Memorial Trail

https://dorsetvt.org/Cutler&Pinnacle.php

Located at 393 Peace Street, Dorset, VT is free and appropriate for all ages. Short and beginner friendly hiking trails, 30 minute loop, shallow swimming holes, and river rocks galore for young kids. On a hot summer day, the trees’ canopy helps cool the whole area with the assistance of the spring fed river’s cold water. Rejuvenating!

Mad Tom Orchard

Apple picking during the Fall with a 360 degree view of mountains. Absolutely beautiful and run by Tom and Sylvia, the nicest people you will meet.

top tips for family fun outdoors

Peace Street- pack a snack or lunch to enjoy at one of the picnic benches and bring a bathing suit
Mad Tom Orchard- bring some sun block, a camera and some family/friends to capture and enjoy the memories for years to come.
