Quechee State Park

Quechee State Park extends over 612 acres of land, featuring the deepest gorge in Vermont with the Ottauquechee River flowing 165 feet below.

The land belonged to the A.G. Dewey Company, a wool processing facility established in 1869 that employed 500 workers before closing in 1952.

Park interpreters conduct educational programs throughout the summer season, teaching visitors about local wildlife, geology, and environmental conservation.

The park maintains 45 tent sites and 7 lean-to camping areas, with facilities including shower buildings, flush toilets, and a sanitary dump station.

The gorge formation resulted from glacial movements 13,000 years ago, creating deep channels in the bedrock that now form Vermont's deepest canyon.
