More than close to nature - in fact, smack in it - the parks' peaceful, relaxed settings offer ideal launching points for active vacations focused on hiking and cycling, paddling and fishing, bird and wildlife watching, or walks to observe fall foliage.
State parks in Vermont come with creature comforts like toilets and hot showers, and they offer nature walks and kids' playgrounds and games, snack bars, weekend music concerts and other cultural events, all for a bargain price. Fees for tent sites or big lean-tos or RV sites are just $12 - $20 a night though the views over a lake or of distant mountains are priceless. Most state parks are also close to classic Vermont villages or classy little cities, shopping, dining and tourist attractions.
Here are some of the adventures that await when you step outside your tent or camper in a Vermont State Park.
