About Wilgus State Park

Wilgus State Park sits along the Connecticut River in Vermont. Colonel and Mrs. William Wilgus gave the land to the state in 1933, and the Civilian Conservation Corps later built the original facilities. Visitors can paddle the river, use day-use access to the water, hike the Pinnacle Trail to an overlook of the river valley, and stay in tent, lean-to, or cabin accommodations.
