Reviews of Molly Stark State Park (Park)

Claudia Stevens

We had a really enjoyable hike Iowa to the fire tower. There are 2 different ways to reach the tower making the hike doable for any skill level. The camping sites appear clean and modern. Overall a really lovely park.

Alexander Marden

Friendly staff, clean sites, and plenty of dry firewood. Sites are a little close, but still offer enough privacy. Offers tent sites, lean to shelters, and trailer locations. Trail up Mt. Olga to the fire tower is well worth the trip.

Nice and quiet. A good place to base out of if you plan to explore the surrounding towns.

Manuel Mompart

Propre et tranquille. Ce n'était qu'une étape pour la nuit.

Karen Roberts

Great place for a quick hike. Pretty views from the fire tower.

Dave Marcotte

Great campground! clean showers and bathrooms.

Steven Leslie

Nice, small state park provides western access to Mountain Olga and its fire tower. There's a well-laid out loop trail here with spurs to additional trails. Fees are charged in warm seasons, but not in winter when I went.

Beautiful view from the fire tower

Amazing view from the firetower. But walk along the southern stretch of Mt. Olga Trail both when walking up and down (heavy logging along the northern one).

Jeanmarie Pina

Had fun hiking up to the fire tower. Too open for me to climb, though! My family enjoyed it while I stayed at the bottom with the dogs.

Hiked up to fire tower. A very nice view

Mark LoGiurato

A small intimate park good for day hikes. They have overnight camping as well. Fun for the family.

Nick Arduini

As Someone who loves exploring abandoned ski areas, and hiking in general, I loved visiting Molly Stark State Park. The trails here weave around Hogback Mountain, a former ski area which operated here into the mid 80s. These a fire tower at the top of the mountain which provides nice views of the area, and its cool to see the remains of the ski area.

Tufayel Ahmed

Steve Scott

Beautiful 2 mile hiking trail. Pleasant staff.

Nate Grace

Nice place to hike & enjoy nature.

Tyler Morse

We love it here its super clean and quiet. The couple that run it are very nice and easy to deal with they will go out of their way to help you. The sites are nice and there is a nice 2(ish) mile hike with a beautiful view at the top. Worth going here.

Andrew Van Leuven

I only visited the park to hike the Mt. Olga trail, which was fantastic. The park rangers were very friendly and directed us to the trailhead.

Lem Lanier

Nice simple walk. Pleasant.

Jason Kahn

Beautiful park for camping and hiking. Climb the tail to the fire tower well worth it

Micheal Jacques

Stayed here for one night staff was really helpful and pleasant. Grounds were nice. Only draw back is the traffic on the highway if you are over by site 23 but cant fault them for that.

Kate Cullifer

What a beautiful state park. We did a day pass to picnic and the ranger encouraged us to drive around because we were interested in camping there eventually. We did a short walk, but the trails look wonderful. 10/10 will go again.

Roberto Vieira-Barbosa

Nice rangers and staff. Clean bathrooms,hot shower,great lean-tos and camping sites. Easy access, all around clean, safe and well maintained state park and better yet, not overpriced.

Mark Scapellati

Well kept state campground. I have been going to Molly Stark for over 20 years and the campsites and bathrooms are always clean.

Christopher Cavender

Simple and straight forward hike. View from the watch tower is amazing. Suggest going to other local parks too if possible. Entry fee covers you for the day and for other parks.

Eli

Beautiful lookout at the top, the trail is mostly up hill.

M Lemieux

Great park. Not supervised enough at night. Bit noisy with highway so close

capozzme

Loved hiking to the top of the fire tower

Lee V

Great spot. Very clean. Have ice and wood for sale. Not too far from town but definitely in the woods.

Teresa Skura

Quiet park, great trails that lead to the fire tower. High altitude park.

Michael Khan

Fantastic hike with amazing views from the tower at the tip of Mount Olga.

Roger Pickel

Pulled off the highway because our van was making a noise, I wanted to see what the problem was, but one of the most rude park employees I have ever met in the whole country, told me I had to pay a fee, before I could even take a look at my vehicle, what an uncompassionate person he was. If he's an example of a Vermont state employee, shame on you!

gracie ramsie

Great Campground! Sites were very big and lots of privacy between campsites.Bathrooms and showers were very clean and nice! Would definitely go back!

ross k

Another great VT State Park. The hike up Mt Olga was very rewarding after climbing the fire tower atop the mountain. The campsites are nice, park staff is very nice and helpful and the bathrooms/showers are kept very clean. This is a great place for family camping or just a day hike and picnic.

Jerry Place

Small / easy hike to tower. Trail Marked fairly well. Little to no parking if main gate to State Park close during off season.

garry demers jr.

Having another great 4th of July weekend here at Molly Stark despite the rain. Such a nice quiet campground. Fireworks tonight and tomorrow night down the road. And maybe a hike up to the tower on Tuesday. We love coming here!

Ryan Cosgrove

Well maintained state park with a beautiful trail to the fire tower atop Mt. Olga. Would recommend to anyone passing through!

Roger Simmons

A true gem of a State Park. Clean, quiet, great value. Of course no hook ups so if you need them look elsewhere. Very handy to attractions in this part of VT. You can also use the beach at Woodford SP 20 minutes to the west without paying day use fees if you are a camper at MS SP.

Gail Foreman

We only drove through to check it out for a future visit to Vermont. The guy at the check in office was helpful answering our questions.

Melissa LeBlanc

Very nice. Stopped for a protected picnic in a rain storm. Friendly staff who guided us in their park and surrounding areas. Clean restrooms that are also conveniently located and spacious. Large picnic covered picnic area near restrooms and office.

Lori Kincade

Love it

Eugene Strupinsky

A good place for basic hikes, e.g. To mount Olga and the fire tower.

Etheridge Charles

Extremely friendly n hot showers for your cup holder change

Michael Gardner Jr

Great hike to the fire lookout platform. Spectacular views in all directions. Well marked and worn trail. If you are in your 20's I'd say it was easy ... if your in your 50's I would call it intermediate. About 2 miles round trip over mostly rocks and roots with a moderate grade. Recommended.

Cecil McLaury

Beautiful park! This VT state park is clean and has up to date facilaties.

Katie Faust

Great hike with a great view! Bug spray recommended.

Michael Leake

MAD.P

Quiet, friendly and clean little park. Enjoyed a good hike to Mnt. Olga and the fire tower

Crystal Vega

Beautiful park. Cool lean to camp sites. Mt. Olga trail sounds like it is going to be easy since it's just under a mile. It was challenging for the family. Grounds were beautiful. The park workers were very helpful.

Andrey Leybovich

Stayed there for a large group gathering. The park has newer amenities, free showers, a large pay area. Will be coming back next summer.

Matthew Mountain

Dropped right in and had a spot. Very friendly management.

Christopher Hastings

Nice place to relax,also trailhead to small mountain(olga) and whiskey distillery!!
