The Meccawe Club is a 120-year-old private trout fishing club in the hills above Bridgewater, Vermont.

The Pond

We have a 9+ acre pond with rainbow, brook and brown trout, many of trophy size (20+”), with a variety of row boats available.

The Clubhouse

The historic, six-bedroom Clubhouse has a full kitchen and is available for overnight stays.

The Grounds

Opportunities to connect with nature include hiking, picnicking, and relaxing in the boathouse and seating around the lawn.

Activities

In addition to fishing, the Club maintains several miles of hiking trails on the property. Our hiking page shows you several loop trails and a trail map. In addition, the Quechee/Woodstock/Killington area abounds with great shopping, restaurants, and attractions such as the Vermont Institute of Natural Science. The Hanover/Dartmouth College area is only 45 minutes away. Our members from Massachusetts and other nearby states often use the club for long weekends.
