This wonderful hike is just down the road from Vermont Cottage Lake Amherst. Take the dirt road from the cottage, turning left at the end of the driveway. Travel along until you get to a bridge and take a right over the bridge. Continue on until you come to Plymouth State Park.

I have been looking for a good picture of the Quechee gorge to really illustrate its vastness. This video is perfect.

The small old dirt road that runs between the cottage and the lake was the road the soldiers marched over during the Revolutionary War.

Lake Amherst: The link to  General Jeffrey Amherst and the Revolutionary War

Lake Amherst: The link to General Jeffrey Amherst and the Revolutionary War

I had a hunch that our cottage was on land marched over during the Revolutionary War so I did some research. General Jeffrey Amherst and his men marched from Fort No. Four to Fort Ticonderoga during the "War of the Revolution" or Revolutionary War. On their way they camped on the north side of the lake. The lake is now named after General Amherst. It is now known as Lake Amherst in Plymouth, Vermont. It is where Vermont Cottage Lake Amherst is today! Imagine that!
