Mount Philo State Park Details
Vermonts first state park still remains one of the most popular outdoor spaces in the state. The picturesque views over Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains, and the Adirondack Mountains from atop the 968-foot summit make this a worthwhile stop for any hiker or nature enthusiast. The land was gifted to the state in 1924 by the owner of the nearby Mount Philo Inn, a hotel located on top of the peak. Although some parts of the land were already developed, the Civilian Conservation Corp created picnic areas and camping sites in the mid-1930s. Although hiking in the summer is a favorite activity of visitors, you can also reach the peak by car. Besides the magnificent view, you might also see various wildlife like deer, moose, or migrating raptors.
