Emerald Lake State Park

Emerald Lake State Park offers 103 campsites (66 tent/RV sites and 37 lean-tos) on a wooded ridge overlooking a 20-acre lake restricted to non-motorized watercraft, making it ideal for paddlers and anglers.

The park provides car-top boat launch access, canoe and kayak rentals, and full amenities including flush toilets, hot showers, and a dump station.

Located conveniently between Manchester and Rutland in Bennington County near the headwaters of Otter Creek, the park is popular with hikers accessing nearby Long Trail and Appalachian Trail sections.
