You'd never guess it standing on a busy Burlington street corner, but one of Vermont's most idyllic green spaces is less than 2 miles from the city center. Tucked among the lazy curves of the Winooski River, Burlington's Intervale Center encompasses a dozen organic farms and a delightful trail network, open to the public 365 days a year for hiking, biking, skiing, berry picking and more; check their website for details. From downtown, follow N Willard St until it curves right to join Riverside Ave, then look for the Intervale signs on your left.
