Mount Philo State Park, State park in Charlotte, Vermont.
Mount Philo spans 237 acres of protected land, rising to 968 feet with forests, cliffs, and meadows in the Champlain Valley region.
The park, established in 1924 through a donation by Francies Humphreys, holds the distinction of becoming Vermont's first state park.
The Civilian Conservation Corps teams enhanced the infrastructure between 1935 and 1937, constructing roads, camping areas, and a ranger cabin.
The park maintains 10 camping sites, including 3 lean-tos, and provides restrooms with hot showers for visitors throughout their stay.
From September to November, the summit serves as an observation point for migrating raptors, including falcons, hawks, and other bird species.

Vermont contains remote locations of historical importance that often lie away from major routes. The region encompasses active and abandoned granite quarries, one-room schoolhouses dating from the 19th century, wooden covered bridges, and waterfalls flowing through forested gorges. Trails cross the Green Mountains, leading to mountain lakes, abandoned settlements, and farms that have operated for generations. Historic sites include President Calvin Coolidge's birthplace in Plymouth Notch, preserved as a museum village, and Naulakha, Rudyard Kipling's former residence in Dummerston. Several state parks provide views over the Champlain Valley and Lake Champlain. The marble exhibits in Proctor document the region's quarrying history. These locations offer insight into Vermont's industrial past, literary heritage, and rural traditions.
