About Bomoseen State Park

Bomoseen State Park spans roughly 3,576 acres in the Taconic Mountains beside Lake Bomoseen, which the state describes as the largest lake lying wholly within Vermont. Visitors can swim at a sandy beach with a snack bar, rent kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, and rowboats, fish for trout, perch, and bass, hike trails including a link to Half Moon Pond State Park, and picnic in a pavilion that seats up to 100. The campground offers tent, RV, and lean-to sites, along with restrooms, hot showers, and an RV dump station. Slate quarry remnants from the region's past remain on a self-guided history trail.
