About Branbury State Park

Branbury State Park sits on the east side of Lake Dunmore, near the base of Mount Moosalamoo, and is split in two by Vermont Route 53. The park has a sandy beach roughly 1,000 feet long, with rentals for canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, a rowboat, and stand-up paddleboards. Visitors can hike trails, fish the lake, picnic on the grassy day-use field, and join interpreter-led programs. Campers can choose among tent and RV sites and lean-tos, and the park also has shelters and a two-bedroom lakeside cottage for rent. Pets are welcome in most areas but not on the beach or in the cottage.
