The northwest boundary of Groton State Forest west of Lanesboro marks the official end of the Groton State Forest Section of the Cross Vermont Trail!
The trail runs east from the State Forest Boundary along the edge of a swampy area through Lanesboro, to cross Route 232 a short distance north of the Kettle Pond Parking Area. The trail then continues through the woods roughly parallel to Route 232 to Lakeside.
Note that the reference marks in the historic railroad station listing suggests that Lanesboro was nothing more than a rural train stop!

No trail facilities were observed at Lanesboro.
Parking is available at the Kettle
Pond Parking Area on Route 232. A short connecting trail runs from the south
entrance of the parking lot to the Cross-Vermont Trail. Pit toilets are
available at the nearby Group Camping Area.

Forest Web Site has more information about the State Forests and
its component State Parks.
