Get Your Vermont On! 5 Things to Do in Rutland – The Traveling Adjunct
So, what’s there to do in Rutland? On a Saturday? In the summer? A lot, as it turns out!
You might only think of Vermont as a ski destination in the winter or as a place to go leaf peeping in the fall. We took a spur of the moment road trip to Rutland in the summer and there were plenty of activities to keep us busy! Here are just a few!
The Vermont Farmers Market is really fantastic. It has a summer market in two locations – one in Rutland and one in Fair Haven. There’s even a winter farmers market in Rutland!
Turns out, there’s a lot of street art in downtown Rutland!
Okay, so not strictly in Rutland, but Killington is nearby. Although we weren’t in the Rutland/Killington area to mountain bike, we did take a ride past the Killington Bike Park. At 10 am it was buzzing with activity! Bring your bike or rent one at the Snowshed Lodge at Killington. Ride the gondola with your bike and ride down one of the many trails. Passes can be steep (pun intended) even if you buy online ($51 for an advance purchase 1-day weekend pass), but it looks like the fun you’ll have may be well worth the price!
Named as the best sandwich place in Vermont by Travel & Leisure, the Sandwich Shoppe doesn't disappoint! And the owners couldn’t be nicer!
Vermont State Fair is in Rutland.
