You don’t need to go all the way to the ocean to take in some breathtaking waterfront views. Vermont has a state park that’s home to one of the most picturesque ponds in the region and it’s worth a trip. Fall is the perfect time to visit as you’ll see the beautiful colors of the leaves reflect against the water.
Kettle Pond State Park is located in Groton, Vermont.
TripAdvisor/Greg M. You’ll drive right through it on Route 232 which becomes State Forest Road.
On a fall day, the park looks like it’s straight from a painting.
