Experience that hometown feeling with a day trip to New London this winter to check out the area’s unique combination of outdoor recreation, specialty shopping, dining, spas, arts, and craft brews.
While in town, take a stroll down main street and enjoy shopping at the specialty boutiques. Step into The Happy Sol to find the latest styles for women, men, and kids, along with great gifts. Head to Paisley Thread for a great selection of quilting items and crafting inspiration, pick up a new read at Fly Lead book shop, and swing over to Three Sisters Furnishings for home decor, furniture, and gifts!
Looking for some “me” time? Catch your breath at one of the area spas and salons: Rejuvenate Spa and Salon, Mill Pond Salon, Adobe Spa and Salon, or reignite your inner artist with a class at Greenwater Garage + Gallery.

In between a busy morning, find time to sit and savor a warm beverage and cafe fare at Lake Affect Cafe and Middle Fork Cafe. Later on, swing by New London Bakery or Deep Freeze for a sweet treat or grab a craft brew from Goat Ridge Brewing Co.
Get outside and enjoy the area’s beautiful trails, lakes, and waterways. New London is home to miles of snowshoeing and cross-country ski trails, ice fishing on more than 360 lakes in the region, and snowmobiling on 200 miles of groomed trails.
