Grout Pond Recreation Area

Google Maps actually sent us here by mistake on our way to Stowe, and it was an awesome mistake! We absolutely loved it. We had a fun snowball fight and really enjoyed being out in nature. It's a beautiful spot even if you aren't planning to visit!

Most camping spots in the Grout Pond camping area remain blocked off with snowfence. Pond access for fishing and boat access is open. It appears that many tent sites around the pond are open, based on the occupation I saw.

Absolutely beautiful area. Perfectly wild. You can just visit it during the day, or find a camping spot and camp overnight (overnight is $16 a night).

Beautiful, quiet park. Spent a night here in early August, site was clean and well maintained. Fishing was decent, pond seems to have a healthy smallmouth bass population. Was hoping for trout but doesn’t seem like this is a trout water anymore.

Grout pond is a nature paradise with a lovely lake, streams, hiking/skiing trails and thick forests. The lake is nice for swimming and paddling, with a hand launch on the north shore. A great place for dogs. It's my favorite spot in this region of Vermont.
