Biking | Lamoille Valley Rail Trail
At 95 miles long, the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail is the longest rail trail in New England and connects through 18 towns across Vermont. You don't have to be like Four and bike the whole thing, but we would absolutely recommend checking this out if you are looking for a biking adventure! Lamoille Valley Bike Tours offers bike and e-bike rentals, and a variety of guided and self-guided day trips.

The Copley Country Club is a beautifully groomed 9-hole golf course located in Morrisville, about 20 minutes from Stowe.
Golf | Jay Peak
If you're looking for more of a country-club level golf experience, take a look at Jay Peak! Jay Peak is a scenic 1-hour drive from Stowe, and one of Emily and Four's favorite ski mountains. The golf course at Jay is stunning and well worth the trip up from Stowe!
