The 16,654 acres of this Vermont state park include the 4,083 foot Camel's Hump and liberal sprinkings of spruce. Known as `Le Lion Couchant` (the sleeping lion) by French explorers, Camel's Hump remains one of the few undeveloped peaks among the mountains of Vermont. Scenic trails to the summit, where an abundance of alpine vegetation grows. The Long Trail, which traverses the park, extends the length of the state along the
Green Mountains. The park is open year-round, 24 hours a day.
