Salem’s lush, rolling Washington County hills surrounding the village are home to the best maple syrup in the spring, the most succulent sweet corn in summer and breathtakingly vibrant fall foliage, thanks to our unusually high concentration of sugar maples. We boast three of the county’s four covered bridges, all of which span the clear waters of the Battenkill River. Legendary for its trout fishing, "The Kill" is also a popular playground for canoeists, kayakers, tubers and rope swing enthusiasts.
