How to get to Round Pond State Park
The park lies in eastern Vermont roughly 30 to 40 miles north of White River Junction and about 45 miles southeast of Montpelier, with driving times of roughly one hour from either. Most RVers approach via Interstate 91 and then follow secondary state and town roads into the hills, where grades can be steep, shoulders narrow, and some town-maintained gravel roads unsuitable for large rigs. There are no tunnels of concern, but drivers of longer Class A motorhomes and fifth wheels should plan routes carefully and watch for low branches and seasonal mud. The nearest major fly-and-rent airport is Burlington International Airport (BTV), about two hours west, with Manchester-Boston Regional (MHT) a practical alternative from the south.
