Kettle Pond State Park, State park with camping facilities in Marshfield, United States.
Kettle Pond State Park spans across a natural area featuring a 109-acre pond surrounded by forest trails and multiple camping zones.
The park grounds were utilized by Native Americans and French explorers in 1704 as travel routes through the Vermont territory.
The transformation from a logging territory to a recreational destination reflects the changing priorities of Vermont's natural resource management.
The park maintains 26 lean-to sites organized in five groups, six remote campsites, and composting toilets, though visitors need to bring their water.
The undeveloped pond preserves its natural state, allowing campers to swim and canoe alongside resident loon families throughout the summer season.

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.
