Golf in Fairlee

Fairlee is an Orange County town on the Connecticut River in the upper valley, home to Lake Morey Resort and its associated recreational amenities. Lake Morey, a glacially formed lake just inland from the river, has hosted summer guests since the 1860s and is known for its remarkably smooth water surface, ideal for ice skating in winter and sailing in summer. The Lake Morey Resort's century of operation has made Fairlee a destination for families seeking a traditional New England lakeside experience. The Connecticut River corridor here is flanked by forested slopes rising sharply from the valley floor. The Lake Morey ice skating season — when the lake's flat surface freezes perfectly for long-distance skating — draws visitors each winter, giving Fairlee a year-round recreational identity that the summer resort season extends.
