Waterbury Center State Park

It's a nice little park. The vehicle parking can fill up fast.

Great for kayaking. Rental folks were friendly and helpful. Looks like it feels up super quickly though!

Great place to visit for a walk or a swim! Entrance fee of $5 per person.

Really nice park with amazing views. It is mainly for water activities like kayak, swimming, stand up paddling, etc.

Fantastic place to kayak! The views are incredible and the boats are very respectful of kayakers and others in the water. $10 feet is worth it!!

I cannot begin to describe the calmness and serenity of this place and such a cute picnic spot with absolutely picturesque views of water, the sun and greenery & orange-ery & red-ery(Fall). You can also go for Kayaking, kayaks are available and there is ample space to park. Cute Benches under trees and green grass to sit if you want. Love the location! Very quiet and peaceful! Breathe some fresh air and relax! Please note there are no trash cans there, so please take a trash bag with you to bring back the garbage.

Super calm and quiet. I almost went kayaking here, but the water was a little cold for my liking - I’m sure it would have been incredible, though. There’s a trail that’s pretty straightforward but not particularly noteworthy.

Prices are reasonable, $29 for 2hr kayak rental. Lake is quiet and has a boat launch as well. Only one trail leads around a short hilly loop. So not the best place to hike, but the kayaking is worth admissions. You can also bring your own for free, which sweetens the deal. Great views of mountains from lake!

Beautiful reservoir about nine miles long. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing for a few hours. There are many people paddle boarding as well. A great way to spend a sunny day in Waterbury state park. There are also picnic tables and barbecue grills for those who enjoy picnics. Swimming too! State Park Admission: $8 Renting canoes and kayaks: $35 for 2 hours, $10 each additional hour.

This is a beautiful hilly park that overlooks Waterbury Reservoir, with BBQ grills and picnic benches right up on top of the grassy hill. We came on one overcast afternoon, and the view from the top was still spectacular. Once you turn onto Reservoir Road off the main road, the ticket gate is only about a minute's drive, and a drive for a further 30 seconds or so will take you to a dead end where you can park and take in the view. The park is less known than Little River State Park, but close to the Cider Mill and Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory, so it was a natural stop for us, and I'm glad we did!

Beautiful scenic park and reservoir in the middle of Waterbury VT. Small fee to enter.
