Lye Brook is the second largest Wilderness in the Green Mountain National Forest. Lakes, streams, and bogs are scattered throughout its heavily forested 15,680-acre landscape. Few trails exist so there is ample opportunity for bush whacking and exploring away from designated footpaths. Lye Brook Wilderness has much to offer those who leave the beaten path. Let your map and compass guide you to more remote areas of the wilderness. It is full of hidden treasures. Located in the western portion of the Wilderness is "The Burning," the site of a large fire that took place around 1900. "The Burning" is a popular spot for wildlife such as wild turkey, whitetail deer, and black bear.

• Visit Lye Brook Meadows to see beavers at work. Look for their carefully constructed beaver huts and dams and listen for the slap of their tails as a signal of their presence.
• Amble around Prospect Rock, the name given to this series of cliffs.
