Located right next to Quechee Gourge, a well kept park 🏞️ with a few trails. One trail leads to the VINS Nature Center, another to a man made waterfall and a trail that runs perpendicular to the Quechee Gourge itself. Bring good hiking πŸ₯Ύ shoes, bug πŸ› repellent and water for that one! Picnic 🧺 tables, not many, plenty of parking πŸ…ΏοΈ, map πŸ—ΊοΈ of trails and a communication for those who are contemplating suicide, yes really! Carry in, carry out. I cannot remember if you can bring your pet πŸ•, but, I would keep an eye πŸ‘€ on Fido because there is a busy road πŸ›£οΈ that divides the park. A father and daughter set up a lemonade πŸ‹ stand in the parking πŸ…ΏοΈ area. That's cool πŸ†’! I visited to see the gourge and waterfall. I want to return to walk the trail to VINS.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Stayed at site 11. Sites were well spaced out and very well maintained. Facilities were also very well maintained. Shout out to the VT state parks staff who do the upkeep. Also… everybody respected the quiet hours. It was silent before 10 pm.

Just popped in to see the gorge. The staff is super friendly and helpful both at the visitor center and campground. Easy trail to the gorge, directly in a little city though so there’s lots of noise pollution. There’s also litter and graffiti along the trail so you’re not as tucked into nature as I would have preferred.

We visited Quechee Gorge for a hike with our dog. From the visitor center along US-4, a trail led to the gorge trail where a left turn led about half a mile to the base of the gorge. I scrambled out on the rocks for a nice picture of the …

If you go to the south side of the bridge, the trail bring a you to the water level. People do swim. But is a river, it's fast, use caution.

Is there still a boat ride in the gorge

Donna Haggett | Oct 5, 2021
Linda Harvey | Oct 6, 2021

Not that I have ever seen. At least downstream it has white water and lots of rocks. Ausable chasm in NY has or at least had a boat ride.

Is there a swimming pool?

Lorraine Hoffman | Apr 3, 2021
Krysta Pratt | Apr 4, 2021

No but if you walk down to the bottom of the gorge you can swim/wade there.

Do you have to pay to walk

Olivia Lane | Apr 3, 2021
DJ Lex NY | Apr 4, 2021

No, you only pay if you're camping which has its own designated area of the park.

I'm kinda local where is the picnic area?

There is a souvenirs and snack shop right next to the gorge that has tables. But, if you stay on the same side of the gorge, there is a small trail that heads back towards Dewey's Mill Pond and the dam with a cute picnic section overlooking the gorge and covered by a canopy of pine.

Can we grill there?

Yes in the campgrounds or picnics area

I have a reservation for an RV site over labor day weekend, from Aug 29 to Labor day. I just got a message my son and family (wife & 3 Kids) might be coming for a visit. Is a tent allowed on the site too?

Jill Deming | Apr 3, 2020
Ivan Elliot | Apr 4, 2020

I believe it would be a small fee to add a tent to your site. But yeah, like the others suggested, I would call the campground. I found that the staff there were very friendly and helpful.

Do you allow golfcarts

James Covino | Apr 4, 2018
Brian Mensinger | Apr 5, 2018

I would highly doubt it. Its a state park, which usually means no guest golf carts in my experience.
