Ways to Play in the Sugar River Region

In the Sugar River Region, how you spend your time is as varied as the landscape itself. Some days begin on wooded trails that climb to wide-open views; others unfold on the water, with a paddle in hand or a quiet line cast into a still lake. You might follow our region-wide Hiking Challenge, tee off on scenic courses along our Golf Trail, or explore backroads and open spaces by bike or motor.

How about hang gliding and paragliding above the Connecticut River Valley? Or explore our long-standing tradition of motorsports at a local track that has been part of the landscape since 1947. Museums and galleries showcase our stories, ingenuity, and creativity, and our lively music and entertainment scene will surprise you with its variety.

Winter brings snow sports for all ages and experience levels. Whatever the season, there are plenty of ways to discover authentic New England.
