Vermont's State Forests and Parks fared pretty well through tropical storm Irene. However, there are a few roads and trails that are closed or conditions are unknown. We list these below. An "unknown" status means that staff have not yet been able to assess conditions.
If a road or trail is not listed it is open. If you have questions, please contact one of our District Offices.
