By Snowmobile
Fairlee is a fairly rural town, so when the heart of winter hits central Vermont, sometimes the only option is to go over the snow, rather than through it. Once again, there's no renting available, but a snowmobile is the best way to beat the difficult winter roads, and is considered completely acceptable by locals. Beware exiting the frozen lake through resident's beach fronts, though, some residents take trespassing matters into their gun-owning hands.
By car
Traveling by car is probably the most popular way to get around in Fairlee. The drives are short but a car also provides you with an option to hop onto Interstate 95 and go to any number of activities in the surrounding area. All in all, this is probably your best bet to survive all weather and all distances.
By bike
The most fun and most approved by conservationists method to travel around Fairlee is by bicycle. Unfortunately, there are no renting shops near-by, so you'll have to supply your own. The circumference of the lake is roughly 5 miles, so a morning bike around the hilly mountainside is just the thing to get your blood pumping. Within a few miles from anywhere around the lake is the town making the bike a viable option for travel.
