Quick Facts:
Very easy, estimated 1/2 mi round trip, elevation unknown.
Highlights:
Super easy for little ones, beach, boat access, and natural, geological, and cultural history along the trail (using the pdf as a guide).
Directions:
From exit 10 off of I89, go north on VT Rte. 100 for almost 3 miles. The park is located on Reservoir Road which will be on your left.
Details:
A detailed pdf of the Peninsula Nature Trail is available here although it's quite blurry and difficult to read, so you may want to download it only as a reference and then pick up the actual brochure from the entrance gate once you get to the Waterbury Reservoir State Park. Their hours are 10am to 9pm (or sunset), and they can be reached via phone at 802-244-1226. If you get there before or after the park season (Memorial Day Weekend - Labor Day Weekend), its free parking and admission, but there is a small fee during that time period.
The brochure guides you along different numbered points along the trail and shares information about the local flora and fauna, as well as a little bit of history on some of the building and landscape.
The swimming here is plentiful, too, as a long stretch of waterfront is available for that and for boat access.
It's short, but definitely sweet.
