Nestled in the Connecticut River Valley, the Fort Dummer State Park is home to 217 acres of scenic forest land and is named after Vermont’s first permanent European settlement. It is characterized by its unique forest which is unlike that of the usual Vermont forest, and more akin to fauna one might find in New England’s southern regions. At the end of the day, the best way to enjoy and maximize this state park is to explore its many trails, one of which ends at a refreshing swimming hole, and another which leads to an overlook that features breathtaking views of the original Fort Dummer site. At the end of the day, pitch a tent and spend the night under the stars as you enjoy the warmth of a campfire and great company.
