Bolton Notch State Park Intro

December 14, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Bolton Notch State Park
Bolton & Vernon

It’s funny when you realize after 14 years of writing this website and hiking all around the state that there’s more to do at a state park you thought you’d entirely explored already. Such is the case here, at Bolton Notch.

Now, granted, I like to find and write about a few more things than normal people, but still… a real cave! a real tunnel! a long distance trail! a major rail trail intersection! Bolton Notch: More than just that place where I-384 ends with the US flag painted up on the rocks.
