Activities includes swimming, hiking, picnicking, fishing, boating, horseback riding, wildlife watching, winter sports and group camping.^[3]^[4]

Facilities include a swimming beach, group and horse camping facilities, playground, picnic area with grills, cabin rentals, boat rentals and a car-top boat launch.^[3]^[5] There are three group picnic pavilions that are available for rent.

Camp Plymouth, owned by the Boy Scouts since 1927, was considered prime real estate on Echo Lake in Plymouth. When the scouts decided to sell the property it could easily have been purchased for development. Murphy was determined to preserve this beautiful and historic site for the use of all Vermonters. With the assistance of the Ottauquechee Land Trust, the property was conveyed to the State of Vermont and Camp Plymouth State Park was opened to the public in 1989.
