Townshend State Park, Recreation area in Townshend, United States.

Townshend State Park stretches across 18 acres at the base of Bald Mountain's north face, featuring mixed forests and numerous woods roads along the West River Valley.

The park, established in 1927, was constructed during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps, providing employment opportunities for young men in Vermont.

The park maintains 30 tent sites and 4 lean-to shelters, preserving traditional outdoor recreational practices for current generations in Vermont's natural environment.

Visitors access the park through Town Highway 4, a gravel road parallel to the West River, with facilities including flush toilets and coin-operated showers.

The Bald Mountain Trail rises from 472 feet to 1,680 feet elevation, passing by natural formations including chutes, waterfalls, and pools.
