    Recreational Facilities

    The town of Poultney has a great deal to offer families in the area. There is a wide range of recreational facilities within the town and surrounding area. 

    The Lake St. Catherine State Park is just a short drive from town and has a beach. There you can rent paddle boats and row boats, bring your children to the playground or have a family picnic at one of the many picnic tables complete with a charcoal barbecue grill. Visitors will find picnic areas throughout the park in both the sun and the shade. The State Park also rents campsites.

During the summer of 2008 some of the programs that were offered to area children included, a Princess Party Camp, a toddler story time camp, sports camps including, soccer, baseball, basketball, golf, cheerleading and floor hockey, as well as science, art and nature camps that included, art adventurers, an out-door Eco camp, art and nature explorers, farming fun and crazy crafts to name a few.
