Central Vermont makes plenty of room for ice skating fun on your vacation

Why choose a skating rink when, instead, you can skate around a pristine lake? The Lake Morey Resort, nestled in the Vermont hills above the Connecticut River, features a 4.3-mile ice skating trail, the longest in the United States, that skirts the shores of Lake Morey. (Imagine the panoramic views as you skate along.) You can rent skates and skating accessories in the resort’s Morey Room, and you can check the website for regular ice reports. When you get back from your skating adventure in the fresh air so unique to Vermont, enjoy a bite and a brew in the Steamboat Pub, a soak in the indoor pool or a session in the sauna. The lake is also ideal for pond hockey.
