Smugglers Notch State Park, Stowe

Smugglers Notch is a narrow pass through the mountain with 1,000 foot cliffs on either side. Many species of plants found in Smugglers Notch are endangered and grow nowhere else in Vermont. It is a corridor park and consists of a campground, a picnic area, the \"Notch\" proper, and trailheads to some of the more popular hiking trails in Vermont. The campground, with majestic views of Mount Mansfield, has 20 tent/trailer sites and 14 leantos. 15 sites (3 being lean-tos) feature walk-in camping for a more rustic experience. One of the two restrooms includes hot showers. A sanitary dump station is available, but no hookups.
