Hike the West River Trail

The West River Trail in Southern Vermont

The West River Trail offers hikers 36 miles of scenic trails.

You can access maps on your smartphone or print them out for the Lower and Upper Sections of the WRT.

To enhance your walking or hiking experience, a Sativa strain will give the energy boost and lift you need to appreciate every minute and detail of your outing. Green Peak Dispensary offers Sun Lion flower by Owl Forest. This product delivers immediate effects that last two or three hours. The THC potency comes in at just under 28%, providing optimum results as consumers keep their hiking abilities intact.

Southern Vermont is also home to many State parks with lakes and waterways ideal for swimming and kayaking.

At Shaftsbury State Park, you’ll find 84 acres of land surrounding the tranquil Lake Shaftsbury. The State Park offers its visitors campgrounds with bathroom facilities, sandy beaches, and picnic and concession areas. They even feature a comfortable cottage that sleeps six for extended stays.

If you find yourself swimming, kayaking, or soaking up the rays on a pristine beach, consider picking up a delightful hybrid pre-roll such as Birdland’s Papaya Candy. This hybrid contains 26.4% THC and a blend of about 31% other cannabinoids. Consumers notice the effects almost immediately and enjoy the intense flavors and aromas.

Many find Vermont just as beautiful when the snow falls as it does during the lush summer. Active Vermont natives and tourists don’t let the dropping temperatures stop them.

It’s for people of all levels, and you can get in on the fun at places like Smuggler’s Notch, where they offer Glow Tubing.
