On a big bend on the Moose River, Concord is a small town with heart. Visit a classic Vermont gas station with all the extras, eat at a family-friendly restaurant or stay overnight at one of the town’s campgrounds. Step away from the Route 2 corridor to enjoy quiet back roads and take a dip (or the chance to fish) in the stunningly beautiful Shadow Lake or Miles Pond.
