Brief Introduction Camp Plymouth State Park
State Parks In Vermont: Brief Introduction by newsdesk Camp Plymouth State Park :The site of Camp Plymouth was at one time thought to have been used as an encampment by soldiers of the Revolutionary War in 1777. The Boy Scouts used this area until 1984 when it became a state park. Camp Plymouth State Park is located in the town of Plymouth on the east shore of Echo Lake. The total acreage is 295 acres of which 46 acres comprise the developed portion of the park. The balance (249 acres) contains hiking trails, fishing, hunting, gold panning, and primitive camping, but is largely forestry oriented. Fort Dummer State Park :The park was named after Fort Dummer, the first permanent white settlement in Vermont. Built on the frontier in 1724, it was initially the gateway to the early settlements along the banks of the Connecticut River. Forty-three English soldiers and twelve Mohawk Indians manned the fort in 1724 and 1725. Later, the fort protected what was then a Massachusetts colony from an invasion by the French and Indians. Made of sturdy white pine timber, stacked like a log cabin, Fort Dummer served its purpose well. The park overlooks the site of Fort Dummer which was flooded when the Vernon Dam was built on the Connecticut River in 1908. This site can be seen from the northernmost scenic vista on the Sunrise Trail. It is now underwater near the lumber company located on the western bank of the river. Knight Point State Park :Knight Point on North Hero Island opened as a state park in 1978.

Critical Paths
CRITICAL PATHS ~ Enhancing Road Permeability for Wildlife in Vermont ~ Recommendations for “On the Ground” Improvements at Priority Road Crossing Zones in the Green Mountain Corridor This is a Draft Report. A Final Version Will Be Published After Stakeholders and Municipal Officials Have Provided Input. By George Leoniak, Principal, Leoniak Tracking Services Tina Scharf, Consulting Wildlife Biologist Jamey Fidel, Forest and Biodiversity Program Director, Jared Nunery, Markell Ripps, and Siobhan McIntyre, Interns Vermont Natural Resources Council George Gay, Director, Global Warming Program, Northeast Regional Center, National Wildlife Federation Forrest Hammond, Wildlife Biologist, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department Jens Hilke, Conservation Planning Biologist, Community Wildlife Program, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department August, 2009 I. Introduction Vermont’s transportation system is an important and growing feature in the state. In the last quarter of the 20th century, Vermont expanded its road system by an average of 26 miles per year to a total of about 14,251 miles. The number of vehicle miles traveled by Vermont residents is growing at seven times the rate of population growth. As of 2008, Vermont had a total of 14,122 miles of public roadways, and 13 major roadways running east to west, bisecting large blocks of undeveloped lands that run north to south the length of the state. This expansive transportation infrastructure has the following negative impacts upon wildlife: vehicle-wildlife collisions; reducing animal and fish passage, thus limiting habitat availability and isolating populations; vehicle emissions of pollutants such as ozone and greenhouse gases; and facilitating the spread of an exotic, invasive species into otherwise healthy areas.

Winter Camping Guide
Winter Camping on the Catamount Trail Hello campers! If you’ve found this, you’re interested in some cold-weather camping while skiing the trail. Spending the night outside on the trail is a challenging but amazing experience. Please do not start any overnight ski/snowshoe trips without planning accordingly, whether inn-to-inn or primitive camping. It is best if you have winter backcountry camping experience or are travelling with someone who does. You can refer to our general safety tips for backcountry skiing at www.catamounttrail.org/trail/planning/safety but please remember that spending the night adds several levels of complexity to staying safe on the trail. This document is intended as a rough guide to possible camping options along the trail, not your only resource for your trip. Bring relevant maps with you. If you find a great spot to stay or learn that the information isn’t accurate, let us know! And when you get back to the warmth of your own home, we’d love to hear about your trip. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS: Green Mountain National Forest Much of the CT winds its way through the Green Mountain National Forest. Consult your guidebook and watch for changes in signage. You may camp on National Forest land following the Leave No Trace Principles and camping under 2,500 feet and at least 200 feet from roads, trails, and bodies of water. Most of the trail lies below 2,500 feet, but please refer to the guidebook for elevation maps. Rangers can be reached at 802-747-6700.
