Welcome! Chances are you are at your home or your
office. Wouldn't you rather be out boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, or sailing in a Vermont state park?
One thing
we have found is that not everyone knows about their state parks so we have
put together this site to help find the fun places to go. To the side we
have listed related information. Have fun and enjoy the relaxation and
excitement of the outdoors!
Allis State Park

Allis State Park is named after Wallace Allis who willed his Bear Mountain Farm to the state of Vermont to be developed as a campground and recreational area.
Camp Plymouth State Park

Most of the park acreage lies on the east side of Town Highway #42. In this area, in and along the banks of Buffalo Brook, one time known as "Gold Brook," gold was discovered. This was in 1855 and mining operations continued for some 30 years. Camp Plymouth State Park is located in the town of Plymouth on the east shore of Echo Lake. The total acreage is 295 acres of which 46 acres comprise the developed portion of the park. The balance (249 acres) contains hiking trails, fishing, hunting, gold panning, and primitive camping, but is largely forestry oriented.
