Smugglers’ Notch is one of Vermont’s largest state parks, located in the northern region of the state. Families flock to the area year-round for the great skiing, hiking, rich local history, and other attractions. As part of the Lamoille River Valley, Smugglers’ Notch State Park boasts some of the most picturesque views you can find anywhere on the East Coast. You will be amazed by how clear the cold mountain water is as it flows into the Brewster River. The water is perfect for canoeing and fishing, and the riverbanks are a great place to relax or picnic.

The Green Mountain National Forest offers gentle trails for casual family strolls and more difficult routes for the adventurous traveler with more backpacking experience.

Smugglers’ Notch is located at the base of Mount Mansfield, the tallest mountain in the entire state of Vermont. The pass at the base of the mountain, called the Notch, is where winter sports such as skiing, ice climbing, and snowboarding thrive. If you are looking for a low-cost winter getaway, the heavy snowfall in this region provides a long season for both downhill and cross-country skiing.

Smugglers’ Notch visitors can always find snowshoeing events or sleigh rides to enjoy when they need a break from the slopes. The local Chamber of Commerce even throws a Heritage Winterfest each year at the end of January to showcase all the winter activities that Smugglers’ Notch has to offer.
