Summer Pastime at floating bridge

Darby Smith, 6, of Northfield takes a stroll on Brookfield's Floating Bridge while her dad samples the fishing.

The floating bridge in quaint Pond Village, Brookfield, is one of Central Vermont's favorite tourist spots.

The village has a gravel road because the townspeople didn't want it paved. They also resisted having an interchange onto Interstate 89 for their village, even though I-89 runs just a half-mile away.

And once one sees Pond Village and the Floating Bridge, who would want to change it, anyhow. Contact the Randolph Chamber of Commerce for information on Randolph-area tourist attractions like this
