Beaver Dam Cabin

Beaver Dam Rebuild at Wheeler Pond

Built in the 1970s, Beaver Dam and Hadsel-Mare Cabins have provided a setting for people to enjoy the natural beauty of the Northeast Kingdom and Wheeler Pond. Located near Lake Willoughby, close to 40 miles of hiking trails, Wheeler Pond has plenty to offer for all levels of outdoor activity.

When Green Mountain Club took ownership of the cabins in 2003, we knew the day would come to replace Beaver Dam Camp. Sadly, we made the difficult decision to close Beaver Dam Camp for structural safety reasons. Staff and leadership are working with our Camps Committee to begin the rebuilding process for Beaver Dam Camp. (Hadsel-Mares is still open for rent year round.)

Wheeler Pond Camps are special to the club and we are excited about the opportunity to rebuild Beaver Dam Camp with the same footprint and to be able to make important structural changes so the cabin can again be enjoyed as a year-round recreation destination. We are lucky to have a loyal community that use and enjoy Wheeler Pond Camps – it’s one of the things that makes the area so special! We look forward to sharing our plans with you and hope that you will help us rebuild Beaver Dam Camp.

Bromley Mountain Observation Tower

Bromley Mountain
Bromley Mountain

The Green Mountain Club is working to rebuild the observation tower on Bromley Mountain. The original Bromley Observation Tower was finished in 1962 to provide visitors with a 360-degree view of mountains in four states. The structure was removed in 2012 for safety reasons. Rebuilding this tower will benefit hikers and those that love the Southern Vermont Mountains for generations to come.

For durability, safety, and maintenance reasons, steel will be used instead of wood to rebuild the tower. The club will be working with a steel contractor and tower builder in 2017 to develop a design for the observation tower with an open viewing platform.
