Brighton State Park

Brighton State Park in Island Pond centers on two neighboring lakes that serve different roles: largely undeveloped Spectacle Pond anchors the campground, while larger Island Pond contains the day-use beach area. The park supports year-round recreation, with boating, swimming, camping, fishing, hiking, picnicking, wildlife watching, and winter sports. Its facilities include beaches, boat rentals, cabins, tent and RV sites, lean-tos, and modern camping amenities. A key feature is the Spectacle Pond Natural Area, protected for its uncommon mature red pines. With interpretive programs and a nature center, the park combines family recreation with access to a distinctive Vermont woodland setting.
