ON THE FLY – For much of the year, the Fly Rod Shop in Stowe offers free fly-fishing lessons in its pond. There’s no lack of lakes and rivers in the vicinity to try your hand, either with flies or a worm on an old bamboo pole. Get times and other info at www.flyrodshop.com.

WATER, WATER, EVERYWHERE – Find a drop to drink the old-fashioned way at the American Society of Dowsers headquarters in Danville. Behind the building, walk through the labyrinth, which dowsers believe can clear your mind and prepare you for finding underground sources of water with a pendulum or a forked stick.

LOOK OUT FOR CHAMP – One of the most picturesque towns in the country is Burlington, which sits on the shores of Lake Champlain and features views of the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks. Aside from walking around its charming downtown, there’s the Ethan Allen Homestead nearby, honoring the Revolutionary War hero, and just sitting by the lakeside, hoping the creature of Lake Champlain, “Champ,” will make an appearance.
