Crystal Lake State Park is a day-use state park and historic site in Barton, Vermont, United States.[1] It is located at 96 Bellwater Avenue, off Willoughby Lake Road (Vermont Route 16) just east of the village, at the northwestern end of 763-acre (309 ha) Crystal Lake.

The park features almost a mile of sandy shoreline beach with a marked swimming area. The bathhouse has restrooms, changing areas, and a concession stand. Other features are about 40 grills, almost 80 picnic tables, play areas, and boat rentals.[2] The bathhouse was constructed in the late 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps with a unique architectural design. It is made of granite which was quarried beside the lake.[3] It was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on August 30, 2005.

Activities include swimming, boating, fishing, wildlife watching and winter sports. There is hiking in nearby Willoughby State Forest.[2]

Crystal Lake Cottage accommodates up to 6 people.
