Mount Mansfield State Forest, State forest in Chittenden County, Vermont.
Mount Mansfield State Forest spans 44,444 acres across seven towns, containing four state parks and the highest peak in Vermont at 4,393 feet.
The Waterbury Reservoir within the forest was constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps for flood control and electrical generation purposes.
The University of Vermont maintains ownership of the 400-acre summit ridge, which contains alpine tundra vegetation persisting since the last ice age.
The forest offers three motorboat access points at Waterbury Reservoir, alongside numerous trails for hiking, skiing, and mountain biking throughout the seasons.
The forest includes two natural areas, Daniels Notch and Mount Mansfield, plus Smugglers Notch, which holds National Natural Landmark designation.
