Camp Plymouth State Park

Camp Plymouth State Park extends across 295 acres along the eastern shore of Echo Lake, featuring shorelines, forests, and walking trails through natural landscapes.

The area gained attention during the 1800s gold rush when prospectors discovered deposits near Buffalo Brook, leading to mining operations until the early 20th century.

The property transformed from a girls summer camp in 1925 to a Boy Scouts facility in 1927 before becoming a public recreational space in 1984.

The park operates from Memorial Day Weekend through September 28, offering swimming beaches, boat rentals, four cottages, and six lean-to camping sites.

The park contains a rare 20-acre Sugar Maple-Ostrich Fern Riverine Floodplain Forest near Buffalo Brook and three uncommon aquatic plant species in Echo Lake.
