Wiessner Woods is a 79-acre conservation area maintained by the Stowe Land Trust. In accordance with the wishes of its late owners, Fritz and Muriel Wiessner, the forested land has been converted for pedestrian use, and hiking, cross-country skiing, dog walking, and snowshoeing is permissible on the extensive trail networks that wind through the woods.

The trails are well marked and well maintained, and off-limits to bicycle and snowmobile traffic. The woods are a mixture of softwoods and hardwoods, largely white pine, but also elegant maple trees, white birch, hemlock, spruce, and beech trees. A number of small brooks flow through the land, and pedestrian foot bridges have been built over them. It is a lovely place with gentle slopes, ideal for a leisurely walk. Parking is available.
