Snake Mountain

Snake Mountain Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is
located in west central Vermont in the towns of Addison and Weybridge.

Its 1,215 acres span the upper slopes and summit of Snake Mountain. Access is from parking areas on Mountain Street near Wilmarth Road, Mountain Street Extension, and Snake Mountain Road south of Thompson Hill Road. There is a network of walking trails that crisscross the mountain. One popular day hike is to the summit from the Mountain Road parking lot.

There are great views of the Lake Champlain Valley and the Adirondack Mountains from the summit. Some of the trails cross private land; please be respectful.

The WMA is owned by the State of Vermont and
managed by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department.

Timber rights are privately owned. Management goals for this area are to conserve wildlife habitat and provide public access.

Reaching My Truck

By 3 PM the snow was flying like crazy. It would be a long drive home, until I got to NYS where the roads where just wet.

Trailhead Parking

While ultimately I parked in this lot, it worried me for a few minutes, because it was a layer of ice from freezing rain, under the layer of 4 inches of snow. I was worried about getting stuck.
