Located in central and southwestern Vermont, the Green Mountain National Forest is a 400,000-acre magnificent diverse landscape that includes the rugged, wild heights on the Green Mountains, quiet, secluded hollows, and 2,000 historic and archaeological sites.

It is a popular destination for visitors who love the great outdoors and it is accessible year round.

In the autumn, when the whole mountain is a colorful spectacle of autumn foliage, it is a breathtaking sight. Within the forest are many Native American sites, the ruins of colonial era farmsteads as well as roads and structures built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. Lucky hikers can come across stately moose and other wildlife. Map
