That leads up and left to the Hermitage Clubhouse) and you will see a stone pathway going up the Haystack Mountain. That’s a nice and easy 40min hike up the mountain. We recommend AllTrails app to see all the trails in the area. Valley Trail, Hoot Toot and Whistle Trail in Wilmington, also Haystack Mountain trail from the Chimney Hill side are popular trails
- LAKES: MIRROR LAKE at the bottom of the Haystack Mountain is a nice and small lake to enjoy for swimming. It’s a private lake so please keep off the indoor areas but you can enjoy the lake otherwise. To get there, make a left at the driveway, another left at the intersection on Fannie Hill Road and walk straight, you’ll see the Gatehouse for Hermitage Club and the lake next to it.

-Cross Country Skiing, ice skating and snow shoeing: Rentals available at the Hermitage Inn, there’s also an outdoor ice skating rink setup in the winter.

Great off-season Retreat
My wife and I took our two kids and dogs along with three of their friends for a summer kickoff/birthday weekend. We had a great time. The multiple beds and amazing lower level was great for the kids while the adults hung out upstairs. The surrounding area offered kayaking, swimming and mountain biking down Mount Snow.
