Fun Things to Do in the Area
Beyond the comforts of The INN guests will find an abundance of activities at their doorstep, from skiing on nearby Jay Peak, snowmobiling the VAST (Vermont Association of Snowmobile Trails) and dogsledding in the winter, to fall foliage hikes to summer swimming holes and rafting. Other nearby attractions include a giant waterpark (insuring kids have a good time, even if the weather turns bad), the Vermont Salt Cave Spa & Halotherapy Center (as unique as it sounds), and a clutch of world renown microbreweries within 45 minutes, including Hill Farmstead (dates back 220 years), Lost Nation and The Alchemist. Montgomery Center is also a short drive away from Canada's Eastern Townships, including Sutton, Bromont and Magog which are favorites for their unique spas, restaurants, and more skiing.
Jay Peak Ski Resort
Jay Peak ski resort, just 8 miles up the Mountain Road 242, is simply awesome and considered by many to be the East's best skiing and snowboarding. It has 78 trails and is served by eight lifts, including the 65 passenger tram to the summit, has a vertical rise of 2,153 feet and 385 skiable acres, with an additional 100 acres of the best glades around. There are also incredible backcountry skiing opportunities for the experienced and adventurous. It never disappoints.
Jay Peak Pump House
Vermont's newest water-park opened to the public in December 2011 and sits right next to the hotels at the Tram base. This state-of-the-art facility, a 50,000-square foot indoor water-park, guarantees, no matter the weather, that visitors to Jay Peak will enjoy their time there.
It features La Chute, a free fall tube ride that thrills, pictured to the left, hot tubs, a surfing 'flowrider' and a lazy river. Overlooking it all, a Bar that serves up frozen cocktails and munchies. In a way, watching from the bar overhead is as much fun as getting wet. And is free. :)

The Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail
Whether you walk, ski, or ride, a trip on the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail takes you into the heart of Northern Vermont’s agricultural open lands. The Trail wanders through the farms, forests, fields, and wetlands of Franklin County at a railroad’s pace – slow, steady grades with sweeping bends. The end points are Richford and St. Albans. For the full 26 mile length of the Trail, you’ll see the postcard images of Vermont you’ve grown to love. You’ll also see the families and working landscapes that created and support this spectacular scenery. You can rent bikes from First Trax, right on Main Street in town and ride or transport them to the closet point in East Berkshire, about 7 miles away.
