Green Mountain National Forest is a gorgeous national forest stretching throughout more than 821,000 acres in Vermont, protecting temperate broadleaf and mixed forest habitats typical to the Acadian and New England forest regions. The forest, which was established in 1932 to protect areas affected by overlogging, is home to a variety of native wildlife species, including coyotes, moose, wild turkeys, and American black bears. It is traversed by three nationally-designated hiking trails, including portions of the gorgeous Appalachian Trail, and is home to 10 seasonal Alpine and Nordic skiing areas for use during the winter months. A variety of camping experiences are offered throughout the forest, ranging from backcountry camping areas open to the public with permits to developed campsites with modern amenities.
