Atlas

The Creemee Stand is a seasonal roadside soft-serve custard shack at 716 Route 100 North in Wilmington, Vermont, on the southern stretch of the VT-100 corridor near the junction with Route 9. Serving since the 1970s, it is one of the most cited creemee destinations in southern Vermont — the Signature Vermont Maple Creemee is made with locally produced maple syrup. Ice cream is sourced from Wilcox Dairy, the oldest ice cream manufacturer in Vermont. Open daily noon–9 PM during the May–October season. The stand sits in a wide gravel pull-off with easy motorcycle parking directly off Route 100.

// The stop

Right on Route 100 North at the southern end of the VT-100 corridor, this walk-up soft-serve stand sits where the road meets the Route 9 junction — a natural pause point whether you're running the full length of VT-100 or cutting across to the Molly Stark Byway. The lot is gravel, the format is simple, and the transaction is cash only: pull in, order at the window, eat outside, leave.

The signature item is the Vermont Maple Creemee, flavored with maple syrup produced in Wilmington. Hard scoop is also available, sourced from Wilcox Dairy, identified as the oldest ice cream manufacturer in Vermont. The stand calls itself part of the Mount Snow Region of the Deerfield Valley — so this is southern Vermont riding territory, and the stop fits that context squarely. It's a seasonal operation, open through the warmer months, and the format hasn't changed: order, get your cone, find a spot outside, move on when you're ready.

// Why riders stop

The creemee stop is a Vermont motorcycle tradition — pulling off Route 100 mid-ride for a soft-serve cone is embedded in the regional riding culture. This stand is at the southern end of the VT-100 corridor near the Route 9 Molly Stark junction, making it a perfect break point when linking VT-100 north to south or transitioning to the Molly Stark Byway. Zero effort: gravel lot, walk-up window, eat outside, keep moving.

American Flatbread at Lareau Farm
Vermont
American Flatbread occupies the original farmhouse at Lareau Farm, a 25-acre property on the west side of Route 100 in Waitsfield, Vermont, just south of Waitsfield Village and north of the Mad River crossing. Open Thursday through Sunday evenings, the restaurant bakes thin-crust wood-fired flatbreads (pizza) using local Vermont ingredients in a hand-built outdoor earthen oven. The farm setting — river meadows, gardens, and the 19th-century farmhouse — makes it one of the most atmospheric dining stops on the VT-100 corridor. The restaurant has occupied this location since 1991 and is consistently cited among the best food stops in the Mad River Valley.

Appalachian Gap — VT-17
Vermont
Vermont Route 17 crosses the Green Mountains via the Appalachian Gap ("App Gap"), the highest paved mountain pass in Vermont at 2,369 feet, in Buel's Gore. The road runs roughly 40 miles from Addison in the Champlain Valley east through Bristol, Starksboro, and Waitsfield to Mad River Glen. The eastern approach from Waitsfield packs 53 turns into 3 miles of climbing with sustained 15%+ grades through dense hardwood forest. The summit is within the Long Trail corridor; the Long Trail crosses the road here. The western descent to Bristol and Bristol Cliffs is equally technical. Frequently combined with VT-100 to form the classic Mad River Loop.

Appalachian Gap Summit — VT-17
Vermont
The Appalachian Gap ("App Gap") is the highest paved mountain pass road in Vermont, cresting at 2,369 feet on Route 17 in Buels Gore. The summit parking area sits just west of the crest and gives immediate access to sweeping views of the Champlain Valley, Lake Champlain, and the Adirondack Mountains of New York on clear days. The Long Trail crosses here, and a short walk north or south yields even wider panoramas. The eastern approach from Waitsfield climbs through dense hardwood forest with sustained 15% grades and tight switchbacks — generally considered one of the finest motorcycle roads in the state. Open seasonally; check conditions in shoulder season.
