Taconic Mountains Ramble State Park is a state park near Hubbardton, Vermont.[1] It is a day-use park[1] within the northern Taconic Mountains, near the Hubbardton Battlefield Historic Site.[2]

The 204 acres (83 ha) holdings of the park were bequeathed in 2016 to the State of Vermont under a trust in the name of the late filmmaker Carson Davidson.[2] The trust also funds continuing repairs and maintenance of the park.[1]

Facilities and setting

[edit]

A one-story modular building near a small parking area has maps and park information posted. The park contains a Japanese garden left by Davidson, which is near the parking area. In 2017, it still had a hay field in operation.[2] Taconic Ramble features trails through woods and waterfalls.[2]
