Waterbury Center State Park lies on the easterly arm of Waterbury Reservoir, a quarter mile off VT Route 100. It is an integral recreation resource in Central Vermont and one of the newer park facilities within Mount Mansfield State Forest. The Reservoir is the ninth largest body of water in the state of Vermont and was created in the 1930s by the CCC as a flood control project to protect towns and villages along the Winooski River Valley.
The park is located on a 90-acre peninsula and contains 17 picnic sites and a concrete boat ramp. There is a large grassy picnic area with picnic tables and grills, a swimming beach, restrooms with composting toilets and running water, changing area, and canoe, kayak and standup paddleboard rentals. There is a short trail with half the length being universally accessible.
There are several remote camping sites located along the Reservoir, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please call Little River State Park for more information on remote camping on the Waterbury Reservoir.
