Ice fishing
Although Lake Champlain is the most popular spot for ice fishing, there are quite a number of inland lakes in the area that you can choose from. If you want private ice fishing for you and your partner, ask your hotel staff to help you find a perfect spot that only the two of you can enjoy. Trout, salmon and other freshwater fishes are the usual fishes that you can catch in the lakes in Vermont, especially during late December to early March.

Snowshoeing and sleigh riding
What can be more romantic than holding hands while snowshoeing in the Green Mountains of New England? Snowshoeing, which has been the trend in Vermont for over a century, provides lovers time to discover the winter paradise at their own pace.
