Facilities:
Welcome to Elmore State Park. The Town of Lake Elmore calls itself “The Beauty Spot of Vermont.” Located in the southeastern part of Lamoille County, Elmore is 23,040 acres, or approximately 36 square miles of mostly forest and agricultural land. Lake Elmore and Elmore Mountain, which rises almost from the lake’s shore, are prominent features of the town.
Lake Elmore is 219 acres, and lies northwest of the village and
empties into the Lamoille River through Pond Brook. Elmore Mountain
is in the "Hogback Range" and its timber is mostly hardwood.
The mountain is also located in the northwest part of town and
has an elevation of 2,608 feet.
The park had its beginning in 1936 when the town of Elmore and
local citizens made a gift of 30 acres on Lake Elmore to the state
of Vermont. With modest means, a picnic and beach area were created.
Today, with more than 700 acres, Elmore State Park has become
a conspicuous, developed recreation facility.
The campground has 45 tent/trailer sites and 15 lean-tos. Two
restrooms are available in the campground; one with hot showers
($). A sanitary dump station is available, but no hookups. There
is convenient access to several hiking trails to Elmore Mountain
and it's fire tower. The day use area includes a large sandy beach,
historic CCC bathhouse with a concession
stand, restrooms and a rental pavilion, a picnic shelter, numberous
tables and grills, and row boat, canoe and kayak rentals.
