GUIDEBOOK TO THE AREA AROUND BRC
Here’s a guidebook I created for the immediate area around the campground, so within minutes of a drive away. There are even more restaurants, shops, activities in surrounding towns that are not included here.
Pro-tips:
1) Download the All Trails app to find all the best hikes, reviews, level of difficulty, their current conditions etc.
2) Go fishing for trout in the Brewster River. Any basic rod with spinners or worms will work.
3) Go swimming in the Brewster River. Tons of great swimming holes up and down the river.
4)Stowe, which is a beautiful 10 min drive away through the Notch road which is open May-Nov, has many more great shops and restaurants that are not included in this list.
