This little park sees a lot of people in the summer, but if you go in the off season, it’s so peaceful. We’ve seen osprey and bald eagles here. The trail around the lake is an easy mile.

My wedding was here in June, and the park was absolutely the most perfect place for it. The backdrop of the lake, the trees, and mountains was priceless and breathtaking. My pictures came out so gorgeous. The park staff were kind, accommodating and helpful. Also, the pavilion is secluded from the rest of the park so it was the perfect place for the reception. I highly recommend them as a wedding venue, even though they arent necessarily listed as one on the VT state parks website.
