Located in central and southwestern Vermont, the Green Mountain National Forest is a pristine ecoregion of Acadian and New England forests that offers a four-season recreation experience.

The near 400,000-acre Green Mountain National Forest features more than 2,000 archeological and historic sites that highlight the history and heritage of Vermont, including remains of colonial-era farmsteads, ancient Native American sites, industrial-period technologies, and facilities built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

The forest is also an area of spectacular natural beauty, with rugged mountainscapes and verdant woodlands, offering an array of recreational activities such as hiking, mountain biking, fall foliage tours, and bird and wildlife watching year round.
