Situated on the edge of the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests, the top reason travelers flock to the area is pretty obvious: the great outdoors! From skiing to kayaking to hiking, the surrounding mountains and lakes offer hours of activities. But the town of Wilmington isn't short on cultural offerings, including art galleries, artisinal boutiques, and The Art of Humor gallery, dedicated to the cartoonist Skip Morrow. Families will also love the nearby petting zoo at Adams Farm, while the adults of the group can slip away to enjoy the local wineries.
Wilmington is a charming village full of shopping, galleries, and bars -- perfect for apres-ski. Purists know you can't apres-ski without actual skiing, but luckily, there's plenty of that, too. Visitors post-ski season can still enjoy the natural scenery, thanks to endless hiking and biking trails, plus campgrounds. If you tire of the outdoors, never fear. A Wilmington vacation rental awaits... or better yet, a selection of local spas. Annual events include the Deerfield Valley Blueberry Festival, the Vermont Wine and Harvest Festival, and an annual Turnip Festival, proving the old adage true. There's something for everyone, even turnip lovers.
Winter is the obvious time to head north to Wilmington, but you really can't go wrong any time of year. Expect some snow from October through April or even May, but the warm breezes of spring and summer will quickly welcome in calmer days. Swimming, kayaking, and boating are all popular actitives when the temps finally climb, but, like much of New England, you'll find the locals most proud of the regional beauty in fall. Pack your best flannels for your Wilmington vacation rental, but please note: pumpkin spice (probably) not included.
Thanks to its close proximity to the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests, as well as the Harriman Reservoir, Wilmington is surrounded on all sides by expansive natural beauty. It's easy to see what makes New England so popular among lovers of the great outdoors when some of the country's best skiing is just a short drive away. While there are plenty of organized activities available, true moments of zen can be found watching the sunrise or sunset from town, birdwatching on one of the hiking trails, or spotting wild deer slipping through the forest.
