About Woodford State Park

Woodford State Park covers 398 acres on a mountain plateau surrounding Adams Reservoir in southern Vermont. At about 2,400 feet, its campground is the highest of any Vermont state park. The park sits in a spruce, fir, and birch forest and borders the George Aiken Wilderness Area within the Green Mountain National Forest. Visitors can camp in tent, RV, lean-to, or cabin sites, hike a trail of about 2.7 miles around the lake, swim at a small beach with a marked swimming area, boat, fish for brook trout, and picnic. Day use runs from 10am to official sunset during the season.
