Allis State Park

Saturday August 24 Allis SP

Drove north 42 miles to Allis State Park… smaller park with 17 tent sites and 10 lean-tos. Main attraction is the fire tower right at the parking lot, most require a 5 mile hike. At least. I managed to go to the first level before the palpitations began. Just couldn't go all the way to the top. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to come down alone. I needed someone to hold my hand.


Fire Tower


Only birds seen were Dark-eyed Junco - Slate-colored, and Chipping Sparrow. I heard Nuthatch, Chickadee, and Red-eyed Vireo.

On down Rt 65, absolutely the worst state highway in Vermont, was the Floating Bridge. First constructed in 1802, the current and 7th version was built in 1978. Closed to vehicles, it’s a popular fishing location. The lake is too deep for standard bridge construction, so it floats on barrels.














Found the Randolph Depot for lunch…
