Outdoor Recreation
Enjoy Vermont’s Outdoors While Staying Close to Home
Vermont’s great outdoors is beckoning. Get outside and enjoy, keeping safety in mind and respecting public health guidelines.
Vermonters are encouraged to pursue in-state day trips to hike, bike, walk, paddle, run, ride horses or visit a tennis court, golf course or skate park. Loosened travel restrictions mean people from some New England and New York regions may visit Vermont without quarantining; find out if your region is one of them. These new guidelines should not be interpreted to override any trail- or property-specific closures.
Vermont State Parks are part of the state’s effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Find out what your State Parks experience will look like this summer and keep up with guidance as it evolves.
For further information on these latest updates and COVID-19 outdoor recreation guidance, please visit the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation.
We thank the public for their cooperation and understanding during this unprecedented public health emergency.
