Sentinel Rock State Park is a 356-acre state park in Westmore, Vermont.[1] It is open for hiking, educational pursuits, hunting, and trapping.[2]
The property is named after its signature feature, Sentinel Rock, a huge glacial boulder situated at an elevation of about 620 meters above sea level.[3]
The park is mostly undeveloped, and features a parking area, interpretative signage and ADA accessible trails that lead visitors to Sentinel Rock and to the former site of the farmhouse.
The land was previously a farm and was donated to the state 1997 by its owner, Windsor Wright.[1] Portions of the park continue to be managed as sustainable agricultural and forest land.
