CARVED WOODEN CHARACTERS AT MORSE FARM MAPLE SUGARWORKS

Continue along County Road to Bliss Pond Road, and then hang right on Fowler to Adamant Road. A quick detour on Lightening Ridge Road, so named because farmers had to lighten their wagon’s load if they wanted to get up it, will take you to Chickering Bog Natural Area (802-229-4425) on the Calais–East Montpelier border. (The site also can be accessed from VT 14 just north of North Montpelier Pond.) The parking area is on George Road. Follow the 1-mile loop trail through the spruce, tamarack, and fir forest to the bog (misnamed, as it’s actually a fen), then keep on the boardwalk to observe wetland plants, including several species of carnivorous plants.

Or stay on Adamant Road to Adamant on the shores of Sodom Pond. The hamlet’s quirky Black Fly Festival each May is a favorite with visitors, although the town is also home to Adamant Co-op (802-223-5760) and the Adamant Music School (802-223-3347), which offers summer concerts. Center Road takes you through East Montpelier back to Montpelier, where you can pick up VT 12.
