The Snapdragon property borders on Paradise Park which, as Nate mentioned in his historical info, was land owned by a previous owner of the home, Maxwell Evarts, and now is a lovely natural area here in Windsor.
Lake Runnemede, formally Evarts Pond, is at the center of the Park with a myriad of walking paths in the surrounding area. When we were training for the 1/2 marathon, we did a lot of runs in Paradise Park but we all frequent the area and I love to go down and take pictures. It is the perfect setting to
capture a "Maxfield Parrish" sky,
see the hundreds of water lilies in bloom,
and take in a vista of Mt. Ascutney, southern Vermont's only monadnock, or lone mountain.
For those that stay at the Inn, the paths and ambience of Paradise Park and Lake Runnemede will be a great little addition to their stay.

It is the most beautiful run I have ever done. You guys are in an amazing place, enjoy.
Is that the logo you designed for the park, Chris?
yep
BEAUTIFUL!!
Beautiful photos!
I found it really hard NOT to get beautiful shots around here. I love it.
This really is an amazing asset to the Snapdragon Inn. Lake Runnemede or Evarts Pond was part of Evarts Estate and you can really get a sense for the size of the Evarts homestead when you walk the trails. Guests will be able to walk from the back porch of the inn, down a private path and connect directly with the trail network of Paradise Park....
