There's nothing like relaxing by the water while you're on vacation. Bring a picnic to Bald Hill Pond and then hang around for a peaceful sunset.
You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when staying in Orleans. Bald Hill Pond is a great place to kick off here, but there are lots of other fine sights to consider. Lake Willoughby, Mount Pisgah, and Bread & Puppet Museum are near the body of water and will round out your day nicely.
