Posted on By in categories Local , Positive News , Travel & Adventure , Vermont State Parks

Whether looking for something fun to do for a quick date or showing off the North Country to out-of-town guests, we’ve combed the area looking for the best places to picnic. Some of these locales are Seven Daysies Award-Winners while some are haunts we’ve check out on our own:

    1. Shelburne Farms – Located off Route 7, the majestic farm and seasonal mansion offer $40 picnic basket for two with a pre-made box, available exclusively to Shelburne Farms Inn guests and bar patrons for $40. This curated selection showcases the finest local flavors, including Shelburne Farms’ cheddar, salami from Agricola Farm, crisp apples, jam, and crackers. Enhance your picnic experience with additional treats from the Farm Cart or a freshly baked loaf from O Bread Bakery, both conveniently located on the property.
    2. Mt. Philo State Park – If you continue south on Route 7, hang a left and head up Mt. Philo. Whether taking the 2 mile hike up the paved road or driving up, the view does not disappoint! Pack your own picnic, sit in the Adirondack chairs and enjoy!
    3. Crown Point State Park – About an hour south, you can enjoy the ruins of the French and British colonial wars while munching on your picnic looking at the beauty of Lake Champlain.
    4. Fort Ticonderoga – Now this is a jaunt, (maybe 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive,) but certainly worth it for the history buff! Corn mazes, the Fort and adventure await
