Silver Lake State Park
Lake · Vermont
About this swimming hole
An 84-acre lake with a sandy beach, bathhouse, and picnic areas in the hills above Woodstock. The swim area is roped and the setting is pure Vermont postcard, with the lake reflecting the surrounding ridges. A favorite stop on the Route 12 corridor.
