Molly Stark State Park in Vermont was named for Molly Stark, who, among many actions, campaigned for smallpox vaccinations and nursed her husband’s troops. Her husband was a general in the American Revolutionary War, and he was best known for this rallying cry on the eve of a battle, “There are your enemies, the Red Coats and the Tories. They are ours, or this night Molly Stark sleeps a widow!” Molly Stark was revered for her efforts to bring health care to Vermont and her contributions to the war, and many local landmarks, including a mountain, a highway, and cannon, are named for her.
The area that would later become Molly Stark State Park was logged and converted into farmlands in the 19th century. In the 1930s, individuals donated land, and the local Civilian Conservation Corps, as a part of the New Deal, replanted trees and built a couple of structures. Molly Stark State Park was officially established in 1960.
The closest town is Wilmington, about four miles west, which has a handful of charming shops and restaurants lining its main street.

Getting Outdoors
Though the woods in Molly Stark State Park are comprised of young trees, only a few decades old, they tower overhead on leggy trunks. The delicate branches of aspens and birches reach out, forming a lacy canopy that leaks sunlight in dappled blotches on the forest floor. The ground is blanked by delicate ferns that curl, protecting the tiny woodland flowers beneath their fronds. The sole trail meanders some 1.7 miles to the fire lookout tower. The tower, no longer used by the state forestry department to watch for smoke or wildfire, is open to the public. The stairs, which are encased in steel girders, zig-zag its way up to the observation platform. Patient hikers are rewarded with sweeping views of the rolling, tree-clad mountains.The Hogback Mountain Conservation Area, which snugs up against Molly Stark State Park, offers several miles of hiking trails, which links up with Molly Stark State Park’s sole trail.

Trudy is a very comfortable home. I really enjoyed sleeping with the windows all around the bed. The easy to use windows slid open to expose secure screens for an evening breeze. The fridge and separate freezer are large for the size rig. The garage is unbelievably large. A picnic table and two chair chairs didn’t even make a dent in the space. The generator is easy to use and the furnace is as easy as turning up your home thermostat. It was too chilly to test out the AC system. Plenty of battery power, even though the solar wasn’t working.
Holly & Mike were fantastic. They communicated with me weeks before my trip, during my trip, and after my trip was complete. This was a great test for the RV as I was parked in the middle of nowhere with no external water or electrical access, 5+ hours away from home. I had everything needed right down to coffee supplied. The RV had a couple quirks, and this was likely due to us being the first ones to run it since winter storage; however, Holly & Mike were right there every step of the way to help me through any questions or concerns and that made the trip feel that much more comfortable and successful. Statistics: For a gas motor in a fully loaded RV with 4 passengers, I got 11mpg Southbound and 10.0mpg Northbound while maintaining reasonable speed with traffic. The drivability of this RV was phenomenal and rode better than my 3500 dually. 10/10 would, and plan to rent from them again. Thank you for the great memory I was able to make with my friends at a Spartan Race. My ONLY recommendation to Holly & Mike would be to update the cup holders or add something to the front of the vehicle to hold the newer/larger water receptacles people use today. Thanks again and see you soon!
Our first experience renting an RV and we could not have asked for better hosts. Shane and Dave were amazing! They were very kind, very responsive and super accommodating! We loved the camper, it was setup with everything you could want except for the food. Looking forward to working with them again next vacation! Highly recommended!
