About Emerald Lake State Park
A 20-acre lake with a distinct green tint gives the park its name and its central feature. The surrounding grounds cover 430 acres in the town of Dorset, offering a fairly compact area built around that single body of water. The setting sits a few miles north of East Dorset village, which also serves as the park's mailing address.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
