Local businesses and gatherings in the heart of Milton
Milton is a semi-rural town located just 16 miles north of Burlington. Its locally owned diners and breweries in Milton Village give it a small-town feel. “Milton is just far enough outside of Burlington where property values aren’t as steep, but it’s a straight shot on the highway. You can reach the city in about 20 minutes,” says Aaron Scowcroft, co-founder and Realtor of Northern Vermont Realty Group. Home to the Lamoille River Walk and River Street Park, the town offers spots for hiking and fishing. Students study at nearby schools that fall within the Milton School District, and Route 7 connects drivers to Interstate 89. With local parks, hiking trails and locally owned businesses, Milton feels rural but gives residents access to plenty of modern amenities. The CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, which is lower than the national average of 4.
Whether you decide to dine in or take your order to go, you'll always leave Huddy's in Milton with a smile.
No matter the time of year, Milton residents can find solace along the trails one may choose to travel.

Fishing and hiking along the Lamoille River
Milton’s rural landscape means plenty of opportunities to get outside in both snow and sun. Milton stretches to Lake Champlain, a popular spot for people to visit in the summertime. “One of the best parts of Milton, in my opinion, is Sandbar State Park. It’s awesome for kayaking, playing horseshoes and there are occasional ice cream trucks by the beach,” Scowcroft says. “The area is pretty rural and being outdoors is a big draw here.” The Lamoille River Walk is a scenic hike along the river, featuring boardwalks, historical markers and opportunities for bird watching, picnicking or taking photos of the landscape. Folks can head up to River Street Park and sit by the water after grabbing a snack at Huddy’s, known for its bagels, coffee and sandwiches. The park has picnic tables and benches, old-fashioned streetlamps and access to the Lower Lamoille River outlet for fishing but not swimming. Bombardier Park West is home to the Milton Outdoor Performance Center, which hosts concerts and community events.
Milton residents bundle up and prepare for a fun and nature-filled walk at Bombardier Park.

Duke's Creemees has a small-town atmosphere with sundaes, shakes and even pup cup treats for dogs. On the north side of town, Painted Lady Cafe has outdoor patio seating and serves small plates like quiche and salads, while the Arrowhead Lodge prides itself on serving locally sourced craft beer, wine and cider.
