Mt. Philo State Park was established in 1924 and is the oldest state park in Vermont. It stretches over 230 acres and overlooks the Adirondack Mountains in New York and Lake Lake Champlain Valley. Visitors can camp or stay at Summit Lodge, located within the park.

The picnic and camping areas provide stunning views of the mountains to the west and south, the lake, and the valley. There are various hiking trails that begin at the base of Mt. Philo and end at its summit and visitors can also sail, fish, or boat in Lake Champlain. Swimming opportunities can be found at nearby Button Bay or Kingsland Bay State Parks.
