Where to go

Lake Bomoseen

Under 15 minutes from Fair Haven, Bomoseen State Park is set on the shores of Vermont’s largest lake, Lake Bomoseen. The park offers camping, boating, and fishing, while hikers will find several forest trails, including one to nearby Half Moon Pond State Park. Campers can make reservations up to 11 months in advance.

Half Moon Pond State Park

Only 20 minutes from Fair Haven, Half Moon Pond State Park is situated on a quiet pond in the middle of dense woods near Bomoseen State Park. Motorized water boats are not allowed on the pond, making it ideal for paddlesports and fishing. In addition to 11 lean-tos and 52 campsites suitable for tents and medium-sized trailers, Half Moon Pond State Park also has five cabins and one cottage available for rent.

Green Mountain National Forest

In southwestern and central Vermont, just west of Fair Haven, the Green Mountain National Forest spans nearly 400,000 acres of green valleys, mountains, lakes, and streams. Parts of the Appalachian Trail run through the forest, and several national forest campgrounds offer quiet, scenic camping spots in the heart of the woods. Once the snow falls, the Green Mountain National Forest becomes a popular destination for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and downhill skiing.

When to go

The best time to camp, hike, and boat at the state parks and national forest surrounding Fair Haven is from late May through September. The Bomoseen State Park campground is only open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, while the Half Moon Pond State Park campground stays open until the second Monday in October. Some Green Mountain National Forest campgrounds are open year-round. Fall is a popular time to visit Fair Haven, as leaves start changing in mid-September and often peak in early to mid-October.

Know before you go

  1. You can find grocery stores, restaurants, and most other visitor services in Fair Haven. 
  2. The Fair Haven Vermont Welcome Center is a great place to get trail maps and camping information, as well as a free cup of Green Mountain Coffee.
