Woodford State Park

Woodford State Park is a forested area surrounding Adams Reservoir at about 2,400 feet elevation, surrounded by dense woods of spruce, fir, and hardwood trees. The lake and surrounding forest form a connected natural space with varied terrain and year-round trail access.

The area was established in 1963 by Vermont's Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation as a protected space within the Green Mountain National Forest. This creation was part of a broader effort to preserve forest landscapes across the state.

The park draws people who want to experience the forest and learn about the natural world around them. Ranger activities throughout summer help visitors connect with the environment and understand how the woods function across seasons.

The park offers more than 100 camping spots with tent sites and shelters, plus modern facilities like restrooms and hot showers for visitors. A well-marked trail circles the lake and provides access to different areas of the park for hikers of all levels.

The trail around the lake transforms into a cross-country skiing route during winter months, offering activities for different seasons. This flexibility makes the park worth visiting in any month of the year.
