15 THINGS TO DO IN MANCHESTER VT FOR FIRST TIME VISITORS

The town is famous for its ski resorts, cross country skiing, and an alpine slide that sit at the base of the Stratton Moutain. But what many people don’t realize is, there are many things to do in Manchester VT all year round. 

No matter what time of year you visit, you will be sure to find something to keep you busy and entertained in Manchester. 

Bike riding through Manchester Village

We were excited to be using our new bikes for the first time in New England. What better way to explore Manchester VT than riding down the charming Main Street, which splits Manchester into two sections. 

Prospect Rock Trail

It winds along a mountain brook before departing into birch-beech forest on a wide and open logging path. The trail criss-crosses the Appalachian Trail and Long Trails. 

Drive Around and See the Covered Bridges

Looking for a bit of nostalgia and quirky character on your Vermont Road trip? A drive to discover the covered bridges in Southern Vermont and the Manchester VT area might be just your thing.

Bennington Battle Monument

I’ve you’ve come all this way, I recommend you do. It offers a pretty birds eye view of the Bennington area, including where the battle was fought and all the way to New York state and Massachusetts. 

Skyline Drive to Mt Equinox

The Mount Equinox Skyline Drive is the longest privately owned paved toll road in the USA. 5.2 miles long, elevation increases to 3,235 feet.
