Things to do at Lowell Lake State Park
- Lowell Lake Trail Loop EasyRV parking available
The Lowell Lake Trail is a roughly 3.4-mile easy loop that circles the lake through mixed hardwood forest and wetlands. The path is mostly flat with a few short rises and offers repeated lake views and good birdwatching. Trailhead parking accommodates passenger vehicles and small RVs.
- Paddling Lowell Lake EasyRV parking available
Lowell Lake is a designated quiet, low-wake paddling destination ideal for canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards. A cartop boat launch provides access, and the lake's small islands and coves make for a rewarding half-day paddle. Gas motors are prohibited, preserving the calm surface.
- FishingRV parking available
Anglers fish Lowell Lake from shore and small boats for bass, pickerel, and panfish. A Vermont fishing license is required, and the quiet-water setting favors fly and light-tackle angling. Shoreline access is available near the boat launch and along parts of the loop trail.
- Wildlife and Bird Watching EasyRV parking available
The lake's undeveloped shoreline attracts loons, herons, beavers, and waterfowl. Early morning on the trail or from a paddle craft offers the best viewing. Bring binoculars for the wetland edges along the eastern shore.
- Picnicking at the Day-Use AreaRV parking available
The park's day-use area offers picnic tables and lake views in a shaded setting. It's a convenient base for a half-day stop between paddling and hiking. Facilities are rustic, with vault toilets and no concessions.
- Foliage Drives from the ParkRV parking available
Lowell Lake sits in one of Vermont's premier foliage corridors along Route 11 and Route 100. RV travelers can base here and tour through Weston, Chester, and the Green Mountain National Forest during late September and early October. Pull-offs along these routes accommodate most rigs.
- Day Trip to Green Mountain National Forest EasyRV parking available
The Manchester Ranger District of the Green Mountain National Forest lies just west of the park and offers additional hiking, swimming holes, and scenic driving. Hapgood Pond and Grout Pond recreation areas are popular nearby day-use destinations. Forest Service roads vary in quality, so scout before bringing a large RV.
Top Hosts near VT, United States
I recently had the pleasure of staying in Lien's camper van for a music festival in Vermont, and I can't emphasize enough how perfectly it met my needs. My four essential requirements for the stay— a clean environment, a comfortable bed, a bathroom, and quality coffee—were not only satisfied but exceeded in every aspect, transforming my experience into one of sheer comfort and enjoyment. In fact, I enjoyed my stay so much that I’ve already booked for next year's festivities! Lien proved to be an exceptional host, embodying warmth and hospitality throughout my stay. She communicated effectively and was always available to address any questions I had, ensuring I felt welcome and well-informed. Her clear instructions prior to my arrival made the check-in process seamless, and she generously took the time to provide a thorough tutorial on the van's systems, which truly enhanced my experience. Furthermore, Lien went above and beyond by supplying plenty of pillows, blankets, and fresh spring water, which added thoughtful touches to my stay. Her attention to detail made all the difference, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the festival atmosphere without any worries. I wholeheartedly recommend her camper van as the perfect 'home away from home' for solo travelers or couples alike. If you're looking for a convenient, comfortable, and fun place to stay, look no further! You won't be disappointed!
