MONTPELIER, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – About nine Vermont State Parks are expected to open this Friday for the coming 2025 season.
With temperatures on the rise Vermont's 55 state parks are gearing up for summer. A few parks have even opened their gates earlier this month, according to the Division of Vermont State Parks Facebook page.
Parks opening May 16 include:
Little River
Kettle Pond
Jamaica
Stilllwater
Lake Carmi
Smuggler's Notch
Green River Reservoir
Waterbury Reservoir Remote
Lowell Lake
An operating schedule for the 2025 season shows that more parks will likely open May 19 and 23. In addition to these openings, the State Parks Division has announced a free-entry program, which they say about 100,000 Vermonters are income-eligible for this year.
Those receiving assistance from WIC and/or the Economic Services Division can join this new, privately funded pilot program. Additional information about the Park Access Fund program can be found on this website.
