Where else can you walk to fish or swim on the Stockbridge Bowl? Leave your kayaks at the beach and walk over when you are ready for a sunset paddle. Ride your bike to the Lion’s Gate and enjoy one of the many Tanglewood concerts, or just a peaceful picnic on the lawn. Watch Tanglewood fireworks from your patio. Explore the many shops and restaurants in both downtown Stockbridge and Lenox.
