This trail goes first to Glen's Falls (an awesome 30ft waterfall with a cold swimming hole) and then can be continued along to hike up to Eagle's Bluff (a rock outcropping overlooking Lake Morey). A picnic at Glen's Falls was one of Amelia and Alexis' first dates and Eagle's Bluff is where they (and Amelia's grandparents) got engaged.
Short and sweet hike up to a fire tower with 360 views.
2.3 mile roundtrip hike up to a cliff with great views. It also happens to be an ancestral nesting site for peregrine falcons, so this trail is closed from early-mid summer when they are nesting. Park at the Fairlee Fire Station and head toward the back right side of the parking lot (there is a kiosk here) and continue past the fence that separates the fire station from the 1-91S off ramp. Follow the treeline until you see the trail cut into the woods on the left.
4.2 mile loop. Let us know if you see a Moose 👀
