In Franklin, Lake Carmi State Park is a site you don't want to miss. Lake Carmi, with a 1375 acre surface area, is the fourth largest natural lake entirely within Vermont. It is 7.5 miles around, averages about 20 feet deep, and is 33 feet at the deepest point. The state park includes more than two miles of lake frontage on the south and east shore of Lake Carmi. There are 140 tent/trailer sites, 35 lean-to sites, and 2 cabins that make this the state's largest campground. Rest rooms have running water and hot showers.  There are swimming beaches in both camp areas, and a day use beach with concession area, rest rooms, and rental boats. 

If you're visiting Vermont during the summer, don't miss Enosburg Falls celebrating its Annual Vermont Dairy Festival in June. This Festival has been going strong since the 1950's! It consists of agricultural and educational promotion, displays, a parade and entertainment. 

Another summer celebration is held in nearby Swanton in late July or early August. Swanton holds its Annual Summer Festival, now going into its 5th decade of summer fun!

So come on, wherever you go on your travels, remember, Vermont's Franklin County is waiting for you!
