Conditions & Atmosphere
- Weather: Widespread haze before 1:00 pm. Sunny, with a high near 87. Southwest wind 5 to 7 mph.
- Vibes: BBQ vibes out there today, hot and smoky. Stay hydrated, take breaks, find the shade, and cool your core in the water. A beach chair and a quiet stretch of the Brewster River sounds about right to me. In all seriousness today, stay cool and breathe easy.
Today’s Highlight
- Activity: Big Smuggle. Ages 5 & older. Village Green. Four different start times – 9:00 am, 10:30 am, 12:30 pm, and 2:00 pm.
- Event: Family Game Night in the lower level of the Meeting House. Games start at 5:00 pm.
Insider Tip
- The cool mountain streams on either side of the Notch will be popular today. There are numerous swimming holes in both the Brewster River and the West Branch. Beat the heat and the more crowded spots by taking a quick creek walk either up or downstream. Maybe you’ll find your own secret spot.
- The FunZone 2.0 is climate controlled. Play hard, maybe less sweat. The Go Zone is also open today.
- There are frozen beverages and Dippin Dots available at Mountainside Pool, sounds like vacation to me.
Cool Water, Clear Mind
There’s something ancient and grounding about being out on the water in a kayak, paddleboard, or canoe. Cutting through the landscape you become part of it. The paddle’s rhythm is consistent and true as the river carries you past overhanging maples and sunlit bends. On the Lamoille, the flow moves slow and smooth, and the world feels wide open and hushed. You pass under old railroad bridges and through fields that hum with summer. A heron lifts from the bank, wings simultaneously kissing the surface. A rainbow trout rises and sips in the seasonal hatch drifting on top of the current. It is not about getting somewhere – this is about being present.
