Echo Lake Weekend

Saturday, we ride north and then east toward the historic Village of Woodstock. The ride is easy with one fun challenge, the short but steep "Hysteria Hill." Next we arrive at President Calvin Coolidge's birthplace and homestead where he was sworn into office by his father on August 3, 1923. The village remains virtually unchanged since 1923; be sure to visit the general store and cheese factory before continuing toward Woodstock on backroads along the Ottauquechee River passing by the Lincoln Covered Bridge. In Woodstock, guests will want to wander through the Village Green and visit the art galleries, craft and antique shops before a stroll through a lattice covered bridge on their way back to the Inn. Opt for the longer mileage and you will ride to the quaint village of Barnard where you can picnic on the shores of Silver Lake and visit the Barnard General Store.
