Recreational resources include both natural and man-made recreational features. The Manchester Recreation Center is an important recreational resource along the byway as are the hiking trails at Merck Forest and rainbow trout fishing sites along the Batten Kill and Mettawee Rivers.

Recreational facilities along the Byway are provided on both public and private property. These areas provide a host of outdoor recreational opportunities including picnicking, swimming, boating, camping, hiking, cross-country skiing, golfing, and bicycling. Municipal recreation parks also offer playgrounds, tennis courts, swimming pools, and other facilities. The value of Route 30 itself as a bicycle touring route is considerable as local cyclists and commercial touring groups frequent the highway.
