1 Bomoseen Hiking Loop:
(1 1/2 miles, 1 hour) Moderate walk through the wildlife preserve. Starts in meadow behind the contact station, goes through pines and into hemlock-hardwood forest. Look for signs of wildlife, particularly around apple trees scattered throughout the forest - remnants of an early 1900's farm. Pleasant vista of Glen Lake.

2 Slate History Trail
(3/4 mile, 1 hour) Guides you through the remains of the West Castleton Railroad and Slate Company. A self-guiding pamphlet is available at the contact station.

3 Glen Lake Trail:
(4 1/2 miles, 4 hours) Completed by the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps in 1987, the Glen Lake Trail traverses steep terrain, lake shore, old roads and scenic woodlands. Trail begins at Glen Lake boat launch. Follows lake shore for 1/2 mile, passing a foundation and cellar hole (1/4 mile from trailhead). Trail detours around marsh on Said Road, then continues for 1/2 mile along lake. Steep in some places. Trail crosses marsh at north end of lake and ascends 1 mile to an overlook 100' above glen lake offering spectacular views. Continues for another mile along ridge to Moscow Pond and Beaver Meadow. Trail descends and goes through oak-hickory forest. Crosses series of faults before reaching Half Moon State Park.

Points of interest along Glen Lake Trail:

Moscow Pond area: old stonework and carriage road; evidence of beaver activity; foundation of old camp; and slate bluffs along fault line on east side of Moscow Pond.

Between Moscow Pond and Beaver Meadow: dry woodland of oak and hornbeam with an understory of sedges (a forest type reminiscent of a savannah and uncommon in Vermont). Vista overlooks Beaver Meadow. 4 Daniel Coffey Memorial Trail:
(3/4 mile, 1 hour) Scenic walk through open forest to secluded High Pond. Beavers, ducks, herons, turtles and frogs are often seen.

5 Half Moon Park Trail:
(1/3 mile, 20 min.) Easy lakeside walk between campgrounds. Pleasant vistas of lake.
