Golf and outdoor trails

Sugarbush Resort Golf Club has an 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. If golf is a focus of your trip, you can include the course in your plans as a specific offering in Warren. The Mad River Path Association maintains a total of 15 miles of trails on the valley floor in Warren, Fayston, and Waitsfield. The northern section of the Warren Path is a 1-mile out-and-back route through Eaton Town Forest. The Vista Trail is 0.5 miles long and leads to a viewpoint overlooking Warren Village and the surrounding mountains. At 0.5 miles, the Vista Trail is the shorter of the two named routes; the 1 mile for the northern section of the Warren Path includes the round trip through the forest.

Warren’s architectural history

The Warren Village Historic District is a mill village that developed along the Mad River in the 1820s. It has historical and architectural significance. Its origins as a mill village give Warren’s history a specific time frame, while the Warren Covered Bridge draws attention to a particular structure.

The Warren Covered Bridge is a single-span bridge supported by two flanking wooden Queenpost trusses. It is 58.5 feet long and has a 14-foot-wide roadway. The Queenpost trusses draw attention to the bridge’s structure, while the two measurements convey its dimensions. Alongside the area’s historical significance, you can also take a closer look at a specific construction.

Blair Barn offers another historical focus. Members of the Warren Historical Society restored it to display artifacts from the Warren community and its history. By focusing on objects and community history, the restoration adds another perspective on Warren’s past to the area’s historic structures.

Nature and local products

In the Mad River Valley, Warren Falls is one of the area’s waterfalls and swimming spots in summer. This seasonal natural attraction complements the valley-floor trails with another option for your stay. Blueberry Lake Cross Country Ski Center is located in East Warren, Vermont.

The Warren Store carries Vermont maple syrups and local salsas. Travelers looking for regional products will find these two specific product categories.
