Amity Pond Natural Area Details
As one of the most underdeveloped areas in Vermont, this park allows you to experience the more rustic side of nature. Walk through grassy open meadows, explore the swampy bogs and ponds or trek through hardwood forests filled with ferns, shrubs, and other native flora. The park has 2.7-miles of trails that can be used for hiking and horseback riding in spring and summer and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter. For a great overview of the land, take the 1.5-mile Crossover Loop that leads around the perimeter of the park. There are also two primitive camping lean-tos if you are interested in spending a night surrounded by nothing but untouched natural forest.
