Lake Champlain Valley Fall Foliage

This bike tour in Vermont, focusing on fall foliage, is considered by Frommer’s to be one of the “World’s 10 Best Bike Tours” and has been named a Forbes Travel Guide “Top 5 US Bike Tour.” See the fall spectacular for yourself as you cruise across Lake Champlain to Westport, New York, then ride through the Adirondack Park to Essex, New York. The entire town is listed on the National Historic Register. Explore the limestone barracks of the Crown Point Historic Site before crossing back over to Vermont and visiting the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. Leaving the lake behind, you’ll head east to the edge of the Green Mountains, stopping to visit the village of Vergennes, loop out past Kingsland Bay State Park, or bike over Little Otter Creek. Cycle through rural farmland to Station Covered Bridge, built in 1865, then continue to Brandon and the Falls of Lana. Visit Bristol and its class town green, follow the New Haven River to the tiny hamlet of Lincoln, and visit Danforth Pewter to admire its timeless pewter crafts (created by Fred Danforth and family since 1755). Venture back toward the lake, passing through one of the country’s only two-lane covered bridges en route to the University of Vermont Morgan Horse Farm. Enjoy a festive farewell picnic in Shelburne beneath striking red, orange, and gold foliage.
