Beautiful state park offering great swimming and a well maintained walking trail around the lake. Lots of benches and grills for cookouts. Restroom and changing facilities but no showers.
This was may last stop on my New England road trip in October 2015. Since, at that time of year Vermont State Parks shut down their day use activities I pretty much had the place to myself. I hiked around the lake along the trail that crosses over Hemlock Island. It was very peaceful and very clean. The park itself is surrounded by the southern section of the Green Mountain National Forest which probably helps keep it so peaceful.
Mostly flat there are a few minor hills and one part with some serious roots -- watch the little ones there.
I went there today to go swimming! It was fun :)
Nice park. Swimming or bbq
There are gorgeous views and the trail is maintained and includes bridges in the areas where it's boggy. For a little different scenery you can walk the railroad tracks for a bit.
I have never been during the regular season but I'm here from Labor Day to Memorial Day for morning walks on the nature trail around the lake. My dog s have been coming here for almost their entire life and it's probably their favorite spot.
