Venture Vermont — Groton State Forest

By Cathy Resmer @cresmer

My family made more progress toward our free Vermont State Parks passes over the weekend. We're doing the Venture Vermont Outdoor Challenge. Click on the link to read more about it.

We visited Groton State Forest on Saturday and racked up a bunch of points at New Discovery State Park, Kettle Pond and Seyon Lodge. The first photo is from Seyon Lodge, the second shows a newt (or a salamander?) at Kettle Pond. See it right in the middle there?

Click here to download your own Venture Vermont score sheet and get started. You need 250 points to get a free parks pass. I think I've got about 200 so far. The newt/salamander critter was only worth 1 point, but it was still pretty awesome to see it.

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.

While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.

To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.

Online comments may return when we have better tech tools for managing them. Thanks for reading.
