Situated between the shore of Elmore Lake and the summit of Elmore Mountain, this state park was begun in 1934 under the care of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The CCC transformed this wooded wilderness area into a recreational space easily accessible by automobile with large grassy areas as well as large wooded areas. This transformation of the landscape began with the construction of a bath house (#1), access road (#2), and beach (#3) along the shore of Elmore Lake. After the CCC completed their work in 1936, the park was sold to the State of Vermont for use as a state park. Since 1936, the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation has maintained the park, its landscape, and its structures. The State of Vermont has also increased accessibility to the park and it opportunities for recreation by constructing new structures and buildings, such as the 1939 fire tower at the summit of Elmore Mountain, that are sympathetic to the construction and landscaping of the CCC. For these reasons, Elmore State Park continues to serve its original purpose and possess a high level of historic integrity. There are three general areas to the park. The original park, or first, area is adjacent to the beach (3#). The Elmore Lake beach (#3) was constructed by the CCC in the 1930s and is accessed by a road off Vermont Route 12 that was also designed and built by the CCC (#2). A bath house (#1) and a 1960s parking area are located adjacent to the beach. To the north of the beach area and up a knoll is the modern park entrance from VT Route 12. This paved road (#4) begins at the stone pillar gate (#6), and provides access to the modern campground. The ranger cottages (#13) and garage (#12) are to the right as you enter. A booth (#6), to collect park fees, is at the center of the road about one eighth of a mile in. At this booth, the road splits. In the center of the split is a firewood shed (#9). A small secondary road branches down to the beach parking area. Along this secondary road are day-use barbecuing sites with metal grills on poles. A picnic shelter (#1 1) is located along the western edge of the park between the toll booth and the bath house. The main road continues to the west. Off the main road is a secondary road in the shape of a figure eight that leads to the campsites (#7) and lean-to shelters (#10). Within this area are two bathroom facilities (#8), one within each loop of the figure eight layout. This secondary road creates a loop and meets the main road again farther to the north. As the access road continues toward Elmore Mountain, it turns to the north (#4). On the south side of the road is an abandoned bathroom facility (#8). The road continues on and, after about one mile from the gate, the road ends and a hiking trail begins (#4). This is the third general area of the park. NPSForm10-900-a (8-86) OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Elmore State Park Section number_7__ Page _2 Elmore, Lamoille County, Vermont__ A picnic shelter (#11) is located to the north of the end of the road. To the south of the road is the area where the Civilian Conservation Corps once was housed. This area has been overgrown with small trees and underbrush. The archaeological potential of the area is high, as there are many visible features present. Cellar holes and metal pipes clearly denote human occupation of the site. At the end of the road, is a trail to the summit of Elmore Mountain (#4). The fire tower (#5) lies at the trail end and the summit of Elmore Mountain at 795 feet above sea level. For many years, this manned lookout functioned as fire tower US #140, VT #03 in an effort to provide advanced warning of and protection against forest fires. 1. Bath House, 1936, contributing Exterior The plans for the bath house were developed in 1935 after the federal government purchased the land. The building was to serve as a point at the park that would allow visitors to access Elmore Lake. In 1936 the Civilian Conservation Corps began construction of the structure completing it later that same year. The ground plan of the gabled-roofed bath house is "H" shaped with the centerline measuring 92' and the flanking loggias measuring 40' in width. Walls are covered with split log siding while the roofs consist of shallow gables covered in wood shingle. The centerline of the H is one-story plan with seven bays on the front, or south, facade and four bays on the rear, or north, facade. The primary entrance is the center bay on the front facade. There are two smaller doorways on the north facade. The symmetrical wings flanking the center section are one by four bays with shallow gable roofs. The siding is stained a dark brown. Windows have white wood frames and sash with six over six pane, double hung construction. Most of the doorways and windows are boarded up for the winter with plywood stained to match the siding. The roof line is trimmed in thin white molding strips. A light brown wood shingling covers the various roof pitches without a break in consistency except for two fixed skylights on the south side of the gable. In the center of the north fa9ade, a massive rubble-stone chimney projects through roof line. Interior The center of the building is entered through a primary entrance on the south fa9ade.

    2002 Yearbook and Annual Report Teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for all of their actions -The VYCC Mission Statement A Message from the President Dear Friends, I am pleased to report that the VYCC has never been stronger. We made it work with our extraordinary staff, board members, and volunteers who are extremely talented, committed, and a lot of fun to work with. Thank you! While this is a time when we can take great pride in our accomplishments, it is not a time when we can rest, even for a minute…the needs in our communities are greater than ever and growing, and the Thomas Hark with children Eli (left), VYCC is an important part of the answer. Zachary (middle), and newborn Rosie (right). Our mission of teaching individuals to take personal responsibility for their own actions, what one says and does, is absolutely vital and essential to creating strong and healthy communities. It is these lessons learned in the Corps that will make the difference in the years and decades to come. While it is true that we operate state parks and do incredible trail and other natural resource work, and that this work all by itself makes the VYCC vital to Vermont, the true value of this organization is what individuals learn from their experiences, and then take with them and use the rest of their lives…it is the values of respect, hard work, and personal responsibility that become imbedded in an individual after a stint in the Corps. Many people think of the VYCC as that small group who built a local trail…though few realize over 350 Staff and Corps Members were enrolled in 2002 and completed over 80,000 hours of important conservation work on 800 distinct projects in every corner of Vermont.

  • 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.

  • Vermont Watchable Wildlife Survey
    A Report Submitted to: The Vennont Departmentof Fish and Wildlife By Walter F. Kuentzel and Gino J.M. Giumarro Schoolof Natural Resources University of Vermont Burlingto~ VT 05405 2 2000 Vermont Watch able Wildlife Survey Consumptive wildlife activities, such as hunting and fishing, have traditionally dominated recreational use of nature in rural areas.However, social attitudes and patterns of wildlife recreation have changed over the last 25 years, and "nonconsumptive" wildlife recreation has become an important part of wildlife agency's management strategies. This study representsone effort by the Vermont Department ofFish and Wildlife to understandthe behaviors of"nonconsumptive" wildlife users in Vermont, and their attitudes towards watchable wildlife. This research also explores how wildlife watchers' attitudes and behaviors may have changed over the last 10 years. Researchers in the 1970's began to notice a shift in the attitudes of consumptive wildlife users. Heberlein (1991) has identified several attitude changes in society that help explain these attitude changes.He found that: (1) in the mid 1970's, at least half of the U.S. residents opposed hunting (2) women and urban residents had the most negative attitudes toward hunting, (3) increasing numbers of people feel that killing for pleasure, bonding, and tradition is inappropriate, and that better alternatives to these activities exist, and (4) there are increasingly popular theories of conservation and preservation. Heberlein (1991) also writes that women have an increasing influence in society and consequently in wildlife recreation. These changing attitudes about hunting and wildlife have led to decreasesin hunting participation and increases in wildlife watching participation.
