Camp Plymouth State Park, State park at Echo Lake, Ludlow, United States.
Camp Plymouth State Park covers 295 acres on 96-acre Echo Lake in Ludlow, Vermont. It has a swimming beach, three group picnic pavilions, a playground, picnic areas with grills, cabin rentals, boat rentals and a car-top boat launch, plus group and horse camping facilities. Trails serve hiking, horseback riding and winter sports.
The land served as a farm, a gold mine and a girls' summer camp before becoming Camp Plymouth, a Boy Scouts of America camp run from 1927 through the 1980s. In 1984 the Ottauquechee Land Trust helped conserve the property, which was conveyed to the State of Vermont; the park opened to the public in 1989.
The park takes its name from Camp Plymouth, a Boy Scouts of America camp run here from 1927 through the 1980s. The site had earlier been a farm, a gold mine and a girls' summer camp. Today the shoreline is used for swimming and picnicking, and the wooded paths draw walkers.
The park opens from late May through September and provides access to swimming beaches as well as simple overnight shelter options. Visitors should know that lake access is seasonal and some facilities may be limited outside the main summer months.
