Hiking
If you prefer hiking and plan on visiting Ludlow in the warmer months, you'll be happy since there are several hiking trails in the town. One of the best is the Bald Mountain hiking trail; it begins in nearby Brattleboro. The trail covers over 18 miles, and you can stay on the trail as long as you'd like. You may opt to even camp at one of the campgrounds on the trail. Those with kids can take one of the smaller portions of the trail; they are easily done in just a few hours.
Jackson Gore Ski Area
If you plan on skiing during the winter months, visit the Jackson Gore Ski Area. The Jackson Gore Inn is located right at the bottom of the trails; this gives you the option of staying as close to the runs as possible. The trails are suited for beginner and intermediate skiers because the trails are easier to handle and smoother than some of the more advanced ones on the mountain.
Okemo Valley Golf Club
The 18-hole golf course at the Okemo Valley Golf Club is used on several championship tours, and golfers from all across the country play there every year. Several elevation changes and hazards--such as water and sand traps--make this a more challenging par-70 course. When you play, you also have access to the 9,200 square foot clubhouse and on-site restaurant.
