Fly Fishing
Noyes Pond is perhaps the biggest draw here at Seyon Lodge, offering Vermont's sole public fly fishing only pond. The pond offers a remote setting that anglers appreciate as much for its quiet sense of solitude as for the breeding ground it creates for native square tail brook trout. Row boat can be rented on site and are the only boats allowed on the pond. We now have a Frequent Flyer Anglers Pass that provides unlimited fishing and boat rentals for only $95/per season.
Other State Parks
When you pay entrance fee at one state park you get into all the others at no additional charge! There are six other parks within the Groton State Forest that will add variety and adventure to your visit. Hike, bike, paddle, swim, learn about the history of the forest.
Hiking
Whether you are looking for an extensive all day hike or a quick stroll, Groton State Forest is the place. Groton is home to 26,000 acres of protected forest land and miles of hiking trails. Seyon Lodge State Park itself has a network of hiking trails. Take a one mile walk along Noyes Pond or venture further out into the Seyon Basin, loaded with wildlife and take in views of magnificent Spruce Mountain along the way.
Biking
Within just a short ride is access to the Cross Vermont Trail and the Groton Forest multi-use trails, perfect for a day of bike path, road, or mountain biking.
Picnics
Bring a picnic basket and enjoy the views of Noyes Pond and the surrounding mountain landscape while you dine. Or, if you prefer, call in advance and arrange a picnic lunch made by the park innkeepers.
Boating
While row boats from Seyon Lodge are the only boats allowed in Noyes Pond, there are other lakes nearby you may wish to explore. Boulder Beach State Park on Lake Groton offers a large beach and boat rentals or Kettle Pond State Park (portage required) or Ricker Pond State Parks offers quieter options.
Swimming
The best swimming in the Forest is at Boulder Beach State Park. Kettle Pond is great too, if you don't mind a short hike in and are looking for a more serene experience.
Winter
Cross Country Skiing & Snowshoeing
Seyon Lodge maintains its own network of cross country ski trails and is the perfect place to kick back with a cup of hot cocoa, or something stronger, apres ski. You can also, especially midweek, connect to the VAST snowmobile trails, extending your mileage.
Snowmobiling
Seyon Lodge is just of the VAST network of snowmobile trails and you can get to the trails right from the park.
