Description
Green River Reservoir is not your typical Vermont State Park in that it provides camping and paddling experiences in a remote setting. Campsites can only be reached by paddling to them - some are a 1 to 2-mile paddle from the launch site.
Geography:
The 653-acre Reservoir includes about 19 miles of shoreline, one of the longest stretches of undeveloped shorelines in Vermont. Access to the park is in the southern part of the Reservoir off Green River Dam Road. The Reservoir is designated as a "quiet" lake under Vermont "Use of Public Waters Rules."Boats powered by electric motors up to 5 mph and human-powered watercraft (canoes, kayaks, etc.) are allowed.
Recreation:
Excellent remote camping, swimming, paddling and nature observation.
Facilities:
27 remote campsites only accessible by non-motorized boats. Each remote site has a fire pit and a privy, and a maximum site occupancy based on the characteristics of the site. There are two designated group campsites that can accommodate up to 12 people each. There is an ADA accessible boardwalk that leads from the parking area to an accessible boat launch. There is no potable water, electricity and parking is limited. Firewood is available for purchase.
