Spruce Mountain is a great afternoon of hiking, 2.2 miles up to a beautiful view at the top is always worth it. The trail is rocky but kept in check, wear some heavy boots. A few landmarks along the way include caves, swamps and streams and a very wild and free feeling at the top of the firetower. Great way to spend an afternoon and good for all ages.
I've come here with family and friends while growing up and after 7 years I've returned to re-explore the landscape with my adult mindset. It's been so wonderful to kayak the lake that I had younger fond memories of and with how naturally clean and quiet it all was. I look forward to the meeting together we have there.
Amazing day trip. Checked out 6 areas in 3 hours. Trails for all levels and activities. We'll be camping, hiking and swimming here more for sure! Nice paved drive too if you just want views but really get out of the car!
I stayed at New Discovery state park with my horse. Lovely park but the most valuable thing you need to see, Owls Head! It's the closest thing to heaven! I found the best time to visit Owls Head is around 7 p.m. I like to give kudos to Vermont Horse Council for putting up the round pen panels at the horse camp!
went to Boulder beach w the kids. very clean (facilities, beach area. playground and water). kids got popsicles and had an amazing time in the water and playground. black flies decided it was chow down time though BAD about 2 hrs into our afternoon. enough we had to quickly pack up and leave. but thats normal for a park and lake in the woods.... or Vermont in general

Groton State Forest is the perfect place for family camping. I brought my grandson, niece and nephew for a weekend adventure of kayaking, camping and hiking. They didn't want to go home.
Great space for hiking, exploring of all skills. Most areas highly accessible via the park roads. Forest well maintained.
