About Lake St. Catherine State Park

Opened in 1953 as a picnic and swimming spot, this state park sits at the northern end of Lake St. Catherine in western Vermont. Visitors can relax on two sandy beaches, rent rowboats, canoes, kayaks, or pedal boats, and fish for panfish, bass, trout, perch, and northern pike. The park also has a campground with tent, RV, lean-to, and cabin options, a nature center that runs programs, an 18-hole disc golf course, and a short trail with views of Birdseye Mountain.
