How to get to Lyman Falls State Park
The park sits in Essex County off Route 102 between the villages of Bloomfield and North Stratford, roughly a 2.5 to 3 hour drive from Burlington, Vermont and about 3.5 hours from Portland, Maine. Access is via narrow rural roads with rough shoulders, so large Class A motorhomes and long travel trailers should scout turnarounds before committing, and drivers should watch for frost heaves, logging trucks, and unpaved final approaches. The nearest regional airport for fly-and-rent trips is Burlington International Airport (BTV), with Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) a longer but interstate-connected alternative.
