Hiking in Woodstock

Picture of Hiking in Woodstock

"Woodstock is a walker's paradise. Anywhere in the village you can literally step outside your door onto an interconnected, compact system of pathways, trails, and carriage roads. They take you from the historic center of Woodstock, across meadows and woodlands, through a national park and up to scenic vistas overlooking valleys, villages, and rural countryside.

Take a day hike or a short stroll. Enjoy the rich conifer forests of Mount Peg, the historic core of Woodstock Village and its pedestrian pathways, Faulkner Park, Billings Park, the Vermont Land Trust's King Farm, and the historic carriage roads and paths of the Marsh-Billings- Rockefeller National Historical Park.

If you are seeking a more backcountry experience, the Appalachian Trail passes just north of Woodstock, and the Long Trail is not far away. There are several Appalachian Trail access points in and around Woodstock and access points to the Long Trail are less than an hour drive away." - nps.gov

Hike to Lucy's Lookout / Lakota Lookout

Picture of Hike to Lucy's Lookout / Lakota Lookout

A somewhat challenging hike, but a spectacular view from a privately maintained cabin just off the AT, but as one hiker noted, "The directions for Lucy's Lookout are, to be charitable, ambiguous. Regarding the right hand turn on the AT, it is true you turn in the direction of the southerly AT route, however the turn actually points you compass north."
