Maidstone, Vermont's most remote state park, has maintained its unique character.
Maidstone Lake was formed by glacial ice that carved a deep basin out of the surrounding valley. When the last glaciers melted 12,000 years ago, a deep, clear, cold lake remained.
The lake abounds with trout and salmon and has produced many a record catch. Maidstone, a spruce-ringed lake, is also one of the few lakes in Vermont where endangered loons still raise their young.
Maidstone has been a state park since 1938. During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps developed many sites with fireplaces in the park and the lodge and a picnic shelter are still in use.
The campground offers hiking trails, a swimming beach, 45 tent and trailer sites and 37 lean-tos. Three of the four restrooms include hot showers. Although a sanitary dump station is available, there are no hookups.
