Seyon Lodge State Park

One of Vermont’s best kept secrets, Seyon Lodge State Park provides rustic and welcoming facilities in the midst of the inspiring beauty of Groton State Forest. Situated on the pristine shores of Noyes Pond, the lodge provides year-round lodging and meeting facilities for individual guests and groups, including small conferences, retreats and weddings.

Private rooms with shared bathrooms accommodate 16 overnight guests. There is a fully equipped commercial kitchen in which staff prepare meals, catering to the whims of your guests.

The Lodge at Seyon is situated within the 27,000 acres of Groton State Forest. The secluded setting allows guests to enjoy some of the most beautiful and undisturbed natural scenery in Vermont. Wildlife abounds and hiking and cross-country ski trails provide easy access to the solitude of the surrounding forests. Fly fishing for brook trout on Noyes Pond is considered among the best in Vermont. Boat rentals for fly fishing only are available at the Lodge. There is no swimming at Noyes Pond, but swimming is offered at the nearby Boulder Beach State Park, also located in the Groton State Forest.

Fly fishing

Noyes Pond is perhaps the biggest draw here at Seyon Lodge, offering Vermont's sole public fly fishing-only pond. The pond offers a remote setting that anglers appreciate as much for its quiet sense of solitude as for the breeding ground it creates for native square tail brook trout. Rental row boats are available and are the only boats allowed on the pond.

ACTIVITIES

Hiking: There is a walking path around Noyes Pond in addition to the miles of hiking trails throughout the Groton State Forest.
Boating: In order to keep invasive species out of this pristine pond, only row boats rented from the lodge are allowed. Other parks within the Groton State Forest offer other types of boating.
Fishing: Fly fishing only. Seyon Lodge is renowned at Vermont's go-to fly fishing destination.
Picnicking: The lodge's grounds provide great picnicking spots.
Cross Country Skiing and Snowshoeing: Seyon Lodge maintains its own network of cross country ski trails and is the perfect place to kick back with a cup of hot cocoa and apres ski. You can also connect to the VAST snowmobile trails, extending your mileage.
Snowmobiling: Seyon Lodge is just off the VAST network of snowmobile trails. There is easy access to these trails from the park.
