Windham Path

The Windham Path

Oh my what can we say,  we just love walking on the Windham Path.  It is scenic mountain views that take my breath away.  It's so peaceful and zen-like walking on the path.  The rolling, crystal clear streams, the birds chirping and the easy walking path that is so comfy underfoot.  It's a wonderful place to walk for fitness, relaxing or just sitting on one of the many benches along the path taking in the views and nature that surrounds you.  We fell in love with Windham  35 years ago.  Living and working in the city is all good, but having an escape in Windham has added years on to our lives.  It's the perfect piece of heaven for busy New Yorkers.
