Downtown Essex is a nice little town right on Lake Champlain with a Ferry that goes to Charlotte Vermont. Mostly everything in Essex outside of Downtown is very rural and agricultural based.

Local Hikes I like
Roaring Brook Falls is a simple short hike, check out the bottom of the falls, the top is a bit dangerous and the view isn’t as good.

Being friendly is a way of life up here, most people wave.

Amish Horse and Buggy’s
Be mindful of Amish horse and Buggy’s on the roads, they pass by the glamp site a few times per day. At night they only use a small red lantern on the back of their buggy. Buggy’s are all completely black so they are hard to spot at night.
