- Fishing on Lake Bomoseen EasyRV parking available
Lake Bomoseen is a popular warm-water fishery for largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye, perch, and panfish. Anglers can fish from shore inside the park or launch small boats from the park ramp with a valid Vermont fishing license.

Bomoseen's seasonal nature center hosts ranger-led programs on local ecology, wildlife, and the lake's history. Activities are family-friendly and a good rainy-day option a short walk from the campground loops.

How to get to Bomoseen State Park
The park is just off Vermont Route 4A near Castleton, about 15 miles west of Rutland, roughly 75 miles south of Burlington (about 1.5 hours), and around 175 miles from Boston (3.5 to 4 hours). Most RV travelers approach via US Route 4, a generally RV-friendly corridor across western Vermont, then follow local roads down the west side of the lake. Drivers should expect narrow, winding two-lane roads with low-clearance trees and tight turns near the campground entrance, so larger rigs should take the approach slowly. The closest commercial airport for fly-and-rent trips is Albany International Airport in New York, about 75 miles southwest, with Burlington International Airport another option to the north.
