The Great Outdoors

One of the most popular attractions in Danville, Vermont is the local corn maze. The largest maze in New England, this sprawling labyrinth of corn stalks covers 24 acres and takes most people about two hours to complete. Make your way on over three miles of dirt trails surrounded by ten-foot-tall walls of corn. Throughout the maze, you’ll find interesting things from past mazes as well as 100 feet of bridges. Should you need to grab a snack, have a bathroom break, or just get the heck out, there’s an emergency exit trail. There’s also a Scenic Maze that takes about 40 minutes to complete and allows you to see the unique things there are within the Big Maze without hours of frustration.Burke Mountain is located in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom and is part of the Green Mountains range.
