There’s a rugged, rural beauty in this part of the region, deep in the slate belt, with picturesque farms, the Mettowee Valley, and Haystack Mountain. There’s also a fun, small town feel to Wells; a feeling like you’ve arrived someplace special, someplace off the beaten path. Stop for homemade jam at a farm stand or gelato at a local creamery, check out the dinosaurs that rise from the cornfields in late summer or the treasures tucked into the local general store, play a round of mini-golf or take a dip in Lake St. Catherine. There’s always a way to fill a day poking around Wells.
