Hazen's Notch State Park, State park in Orleans County, United States.
Hazen's Notch State Park is a 307-acre natural area in northern Vermont with two prominent mountain peaks, Sugarloaf Mountain and Haystack Mountain. The Long Trail runs through the park, connecting these summits and passing through diverse forest and alpine terrain.
The site marks the end of the Hazen Military Road, built in 1779 as part of an American military campaign during the Revolution. This road was one of the earliest routes cut through this remote mountain region.
The stone marker placed here in 1903 by local historians remembers the Hazen Road's endpoint, a route that still shapes how people understand the region's past.
The park offers multiple outdoor activities year-round, including hiking, bird watching, and snowshoeing depending on the season. The Long Trail provides access points at different levels of difficulty for various hiking abilities.
The park sits on rare serpentine rock formations that support unusual alpine plants found nowhere else in the region. These specialized plants thrive in the mineral-rich soil created by this distinctive geology.
