Tips from locals
Emerald Lake State Park is a 430-acre state park in East Dorset, Vermont, USA. It is the home of 20-acre Emerald Lake, called such because of its emerald color. Activities include swimming, non-motorized boating, camping, fishing, hiking, picnicking, bicycling, wildlife watching, and winter sports.
Named for it's lovely emerald green water, this is a great park for a picnic and a swim. It does get very crowded on the weekends, but weekdays are fine. There is a large sandy swimming area and boats for rent as well.
The lake is actually emerald due to the limestone basin. Go here if you want to swim, kayack and fish. You can rent a boat.
