Foliage season · mid-September to mid-October
Fall in Bridgewater
Central Vermont fall foliage peaks in early-to-mid October, and the hills around Bridgewater light up first. Fall weekends book early — and there is no better base for a foliage drive, a chairlift ride above the color, or a slow afternoon in downtown Woodstock.
Drive Route 4 east through the color to Vermont's Little Grand Canyon — the overlook walk is an easy five-minute leg-stretch with a dramatic payoff.
Ride above the color line for sweeping Green Mountain views — the gondola runs straight through foliage season, no skis required.
Green Mountain Horse Association's trail network threads through quiet, colorful woods — a classic Vermont foliage ride, saddle or boots.
Harvest season on a working dairy farm: pumpkins, seasonal events, and heirloom breeds against the fall color.
Maple and cheddar tastings with sweeping countryside views at their most photogenic time of year.
Stroll downtown Woodstock's green, shops, and covered bridges as the maples turn along the Ottauquechee River.
