How to get to Fort Dummer State Park
The park sits just south of Brattleboro, Vermont, about a 2-mile drive from Exit 1 off Interstate 91, making it one of the easiest Vermont state parks to reach by RV. Driving times are roughly 1 hour 45 minutes from Hartford, Connecticut, about 2 hours from Boston, and about 3 hours 30 minutes from New York City. The access road (Old Guilford Road) is paved but narrow and hilly, with tight turns near the park entrance, so larger motorhomes and trailers should approach slowly. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Bradley International (BDL) near Hartford, about 1 hour 45 minutes south, with Manchester-Boston Regional (MHT) and Boston Logan (BOS) as alternatives.
