The Connecticut River Byway is a nationally recognized byway, uniting the shores of the historic Connecticut River in Vermont and New Hampshire. The story of New England’s longest and most powerful river begins with the clashing continental plates and glaciers and the first peoples, the Abenaki. Colonial settlement in villages and steam locomotives that traveled in the valley established architectural traditions that still dominate the valley today. The river has shaped local commerce for centuries. The powerful waters that turned mill wheels and propelled the production of intricate precision machinery still provide power to the region. Soils enriched by the river established a strong agricultural heritage that still flourishes. Historic sites are located throughout the byway and range from Revolutionary War to industrial history. Cultural sites include a variety of museums, galleries and performance venues. Connecticut River vistas take in rivers, villages, farmlands and forests. Along the route, ten river towns offer visitor information at Waypoint Centers, including local history and cultural, dining, lodging and recreational opportunities.

The Lake Champlain Byway in northwest Vermont provides stunning views and easy access to the nation’s sixth largest lake from its path on U.S. Routes 2 and 7 and adjacent scenic roads. Lake Champlain is at the heart of the region’s history. Beginning with a 450 million-year-old coral reef, this is where Native Americans and Europeans—led by French explorer Samuel de Champlain—first met. Two centuries later Burlington became a bustling port of trade, and operating mills were plentiful along the Byway’s rivers. Today these buildings reflect 200 years of architectural history and host an array of shops, sidewalk restaurants, cafes, performing arts venues, and an eclectic mix of local festivals and events. Visitors can hike or stroll a variety of trails, or bike its many quiet roads. Multiple waterfront sites provide access for swimming and boating. Numerous historic sites and museums, galleries, and performing arts venues, along with orchards, farms, wineries and breweries, are strong components of this vibrant region’s appeal.

It has taken nearly a million years to form the definitive region known as Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Over the eons, the region has been sculpted by the collision of continents, glacial activity and natural erosion to form a distinctive landscape of rolling hills, rising mountains and pristine lakes. Time and human habitation have softened the edges, leaving thick forests, lush pastures and meandering streams, as well as picturesque villages, enduring farmsteads and impressive historic edifices. The byway threads this singular countryside on Routes 114, 5A and 111. Today, the Kingdom is regarded to be among the most beautiful landscapes in the country. National Geographic ranks the area as the #1 Geotourism destination in the and among the top ten in the world. The Northeast Kingdom Byway and its collection of side trip itineraries introduce visitors to a region where simplicity overshadows technology, and the tapestry of hills, trees, lakes, and villages provides inspiration for artists, craftspeople, writers, and musicians. Throughout the seasons the Northeast Kingdom Byway offers endless recreational opportunities, notable dining and lodging establishments, quintessential Vermont villages resplendent with classic New England architecture, and a rich diversity of galleries, museums, studios, unique shops, entertainment, and event venues.

Located in west-central Vermont, the verdant Stone Valley derives its name from the marble and slate quarries and mills located along Route 30. Stone shaped much of the development in the area and remains important today as economic assets and iconic historic sites. Winding through the valley pasture-lands, flanked by mountain silhouettes and the shores of beautiful lakes, the Stone Valley Byway links outdoor recreation and historic village centers. Travelers enjoy picnicking, swimming, boating, camping, fishing, hiking, Nordic skiing, golfing, and wildlife-viewing, among many other recreational opportunities. Route 30 invites bicycle touring and state parks provide year-round outdoor adventure. Rivers tempt anglers of all skill levels, and the marshes, conservation areas, forests and wildlife management areas provide an outdoor playground for nature enthusiasts. Artisans abound. Their work can be seen at outdoor events, open studios and sometimes at farmers markets where artistic creations are displayed prominently alongside fresh and local Vermont-grown produce. The villages that dot the Stone Valley Byway embody the character of the thoroughfare—lively, friendly, and inviting.
