Sentinel Rock State Park is a 356-acre (144 ha) state park in Westmore, Vermont.[1] It is open for hiking, educational pursuits, hunting, and trapping.[2]

The property is named after its signature feature, Sentinel Rock, a huge glacial boulder situated at an elevation of about 2,034 feet (620 m) above sea level.[3] The park is mostly undeveloped, and features a parking area, interpretative signage and ADA accessible trails that lead visitors to Sentinel Rock and to the former site of a farmhouse.

The land was previously a farm and was donated to the state in 1997 by its owner, Windsor Wright.[1] Portions of the park continue to be managed as sustainable agricultural and forest land.
