NorthWoods is happy to announce the Shane Copp Annual Youth Fishing Day!

Let’s Go Fishing Instructors will share anglers’ tips and techniques. The fishing is for the kids, but parent supervision is required and participation encouraged. Bait provided. Barbless hooks required; we’ll have extras here. (note – you can make a barbless hook from a barbed hook with a set of pliers!). If you’d like to bring a catch home, bring a cooler and a ziploc bag.

Please select a time frame you plan to come to the pond. Used for planning purposes only – if you are early or late, that’s okay!

Ride For Mo

  We are excited to announce that the 2nd annual Ride For Mo fundraiser to support the Moriah Wilson Foundation will be held again this year at the Wildflower Inn on Darling Ridge Rd.

It will take place on May 11, 2024 which marks two years since her passing. We can’t think of a better way to remember our beloved Moriah by bringing people together to celebrate the love of biking in the beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.

We will have the same two gravel loops as last year – the 26 mile Kirby Cup and the 52 mile Victory lap. We will not have an organized mountain bike option this year. The venue is open to the public, so if people are in the area riding their mountain bikes independently, they are welcome to join in with the post ride festivities. There will be a number of awesome food trucks, Sips of Sunshine from Lawson’s Finest Liquids, live music, lawn games and an amazing bike from Specialized to be raffled off.

Most of all, we will be honoring Moriah by choosing to embrace this difficult day with love that overcomes hate, joy that overcomes grief, and life that overcomes death.
