wiessner woods

Weissner woods is easily accessible, just off the Mountain Road. The trails are well maintained, and have relatively good signage. The trails are well-used even in off seasons, so do not expect a wilderness experience, though the area is large enough to be quiet and peaceful. Many (most) dogs are off-leash, so it is best not to bring untrained or unfriendly dogs, and of course clean up after your own dogs. There are very pretty views, nice ravines and bridges, and the trails are not difficult. A great place for a walk in the woods.

The location is easy to get to if you're in Stowe. Takes about 15-20 min to get there. The trails are laid out very clearly. It's a nice walk through the woods. This is by no means a hard hike. The scenery is great beause we did it in the fall. There was a warning of bears but just be careful and keep alert. Its not like the harder mountain hikes so if you're looking for that this is not for you.

Really goes to show you the pure beauty of the Vermont Wilderness. The paths aren't very long at all, so even if you do all of the paths, you could if you wanted to. Very quiet, very beautiful, and peaceful.

This place is incredibly calm. A great walk and there are surprised along the way. We loved it and would do it again.

This is one of our favorite winter destinations in town. A perfect place for snowshoeing away from the bustling crowds.

Looking for a nice hike with nice charming rivers periodically, only 200ft elevations. Just over 2 miles. Wooded but areas with dampled sunlight. Absolutely perfect for us. Would go there over and over again.

Always visit this spot when visiting Stowe. Easy hike, about 2 miles around property. Leashed dogs are welcomed. Many small bridges over babbling brooks. Will need good footwear, hiking shoes preferred, but sneakers ok. Part of the Stowe Land Trust...look up the history of the property before going.

that lead to a private area of xc trails. Snow was deep and trails were groomed. Cost was 0! Thanks Stowe.

We always make sure to snowshoe in Wiessner Woods--it's tranquil and you can be out there for hours and not meet a soul. Beautiful scenery--a real gem in Stowe when you want a break from the apres ski crowd. Not to be missed.It's special.

Easy paths to follow~ nicely marked; off the beaten track so not very crowded; easy to find; very wooded with streams and small areas of water.

Easy to reach, and simple to hike (no special shoes, water, gear). This wonderful reserve affords vacationers a peaceful walk in the woods. If you don't prefer the hectic Stowe all-purpose bike path - you will likely enjoy this, as we did.

We enjoyed a couple of short and easy hikes along the Sugar House Trail and the Meadow Trail, both easy 30-minute loops. Though it is past peak foliage there were still beautiful yellow and copper beech colors and the smell of balsam everywhere. Despite Columbus Day weekend crowds in the town, there were hardly any hikers here. Wait until you see the view of the meadow!

Very nice, well maintained trail, very uncrowned, very well maintained by the Stowe land trust folks.

This is a great spot to bring dogs, snow-shoe, run around and enjoy the great outdoors. We love bringing our pup her to run around in bother winter and summer. She meets other dogs, and enjoys finding a treat in the woods (left by another dog owner).

This is a great place to bring your dog for a good hike or snowshoe. It's not crowded, and the trails are well maintained.
