Boater Reviews
Do to low water levels it was nice to be able to walk to the other island, hang out for a little while, and take in almost the scenery.
Beautiful park! Clean beach areas...such a neat museum with pictures of originally. Would definitely go back!!
Alright, folks, here’s the lowdown on this state park. It’s a lovely spot, definitely worth a visit. But let’s talk about the $5 per adult fee from May to September. A bit steep, right? But hey, if you’re taking the ferry to Burton Island, it’s worth it. The island day trip is gorgeous. Camping galore, and you can rent canoes and kayaks to complete your rugged outdoor fantasy. Now, the punchline: This place is gnat heaven—no, scratch that—gnat hell. I swear, they must have a gnat breeding program here. Bring your bug spray, folks, because these little monsters are out for blood!
Beautiful place. Dog friendly
Gorgeous place. We went for the eclipse, so didn't explore what was around the park. We're from out of state, so not familiar with VT parks, but Kill Kare was gorgeous and clean. Only "not favorite" thing was the porta potties, one of which was lethal from 7 am on...
