Although currently open for general visitation, it is not yet appropriate or safe to open State Parks for staffed operations. We are working with Vermont Department of Health guidance and strive to be fully operational later this spring or early summer.

Vermonters should continue to focus on local outdoor recreation opportunities and are encouraged to pursue day trips close to home, but are no longer being asked to limit outings to within 10 miles of their homes.

Some modifications to programs and services may be expected to ensure the safety and health of park visitors and staff. Vermont State Parks are hoping to have more information in the coming days about plans for the 2020 operating season. Thank you for your patience!

Out-of-state visitors are still being asked not to come to Vermont for recreational activities, or if they do, to self-quarantine for at least 14 days after arriving in Vermont before engaging in any activities.

Per Governor Scott’s “Play Smart and Play Safe” order, Vermonters are encouraged to participate in outdoor recreational activities while adhering to social distancing and hygiene requirements, while avoiding those outside their immediate household. pic.twitter.com/qjVHPr4tgP
