Located just 20 miles south of Montpelier, Allis State Park sits on the summit of Bear Hill, where you will be swept away by gorgeous sprawling views of central Vermont.
At the summit there's a lookout tower, once used to identify forest fires, that now serves visitors some of the most beautiful vistas in this region of Vermont.
If you visit on a sunny and clear day, the peaks of Killington, Pico, and Mt. Ascutney will be visible to the south. Gaze north, and you'll see Camel's Hump and Mt. Mansfield. The White Mountains of New Hampshire to the east are also observable. The lookout tower has an informational board explaining all of the various mountain views.
If you are looking for a place to recharge and to get some fresh air, you will enjoy this peaceful park with breathtaking scenery. Here's some more information if you are interested in planning a trip to Allis State Park.
