Mills Riverside Park in Jericho is enjoyed year-round for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, fishing, and local community events. The park, located off Route 15, includes 216 acres of open meadows and forested hillside.Established in 1999 by the Jericho-Underhill Land Trust, the park preserves one of the most beautiful vistas of Mount Mansfield, a view that has been treasured by residents for more than two centuries.On any given day at the park you’ll find parents pushing strollers, kids playing football, and neighbors strolling wooded trails. Mills Riverside Park is also a popular spot for pet owners and includes an “off-leash” area where dogs can run and play.

    Thanks Elvira. Yes, it’s feeling a little chilly here these days! Winter is definitely on its way. Mills Riverside Park is wonderful in the winter, and it’s nice to see people take advantage of this beautiful spot all year long.
