Lake Shaftsbury State Park, Recreational state park with lake in Shaftsbury, Vermont.
Lake Shaftsbury State Park spans 102 acres in Bennington County, featuring a 26-acre lake with an average depth of three to four feet.
The property transformed from a private campground and cabin resort into a Vermont state park in 1974, establishing a public recreation destination.
The Healing Springs Nature Trail connects visitors with local ecosystems through a mile-long path that includes forest sections and wetland boardwalks.
The park operates from Memorial Day weekend through Indigenous Peoples Day weekend, offering swimming, kayaking, fishing, and fifteen lean-to camping sites.
The lake's shallow waters create specific conditions for rainbow trout, perch, and panfish populations, making it suitable for beginner anglers.
