Golf in Rochester

Rochester is a small Green Mountain community in the White River valley of Windsor County, known for its perfectly preserved village green, the Rochester Cafe, and its position on the Route 100 scenic byway that runs the length of Vermont's mountain spine. The town is a beloved stopping point for cyclists riding the full length of Route 100 and for hikers accessing the Green Mountain National Forest trails that begin nearby. The narrow White River valley and the steep forested hillsides above it create a mountain atmosphere that draws visitors seeking Vermont's classic highland scenery. The Green Mountain National Forest's management of the surrounding highlands protects the watershed that sustains Rochester's agricultural valley, and the forest's trail system provides hiking access to ridge-top views across the White River drainage.
