Deer Leap Trail Is A Gorgeous Forest Trail In Vermont That Will Take You To A Hidden Overlook

There’s no time like the present to have an adventure right here in the Green Mountain State. We have some of the prettiest forested state parks in the entire U.S., and we’re here today to talk about one trek that folks can’t get enough of. If hiking through a wonderful forest all the way to an incredible scenic overlook sounds like your idea of a lovely afternoon, come along with us today as we explore Deer Leap Trail. Let's start with those incredible forest views, shall we?

This 4.6-mile loop trail is rated as moderately difficult by the users over at AllTrails.

Your dog is even welcome on the trail, as long as they are leashed.

The trail takes you up 1400-feet in elevation, making your journey if not exactly strenuous, certainly rewarding.

The forest you’ll walk through is absolutely stunning.

But it doesn’t hold a candle to the view from the rocky overlook at the end of Deer Leap Trail.

You can see forever up there, making that moderately difficult trail well worth the climb.
