Answer
The Green Mountain National Forest hugs the ridge tops from the Massachusetts border to Bristol, Vermont and makes up about six percent of the landmass in Vermont. It has 900 miles of trails and eight wilderness areas; Aiken, Big Branch, Breadloaf, Bristol Cliffs, Joseph Battell, Glastenbury, Lye Brook, and Peru Peak.

Use caution going off-trail in wilderness areas. Make sure that you have adequate awareness of your surroundings and landmarks to avoid becoming disoriented. Carry sufficient survival gear to respond to emergency situations.

Where to hike in Vermont?

My father and I want to hike (and possibly camp) in Vermont in early March.

I was hoping someone may be able to suggest a good place to check out!

Answer
Mount Ascutney is a good hike. There are 4 trails. I'd rate these moderate. You can camp at the state park at the bottom.
Little Rock Pond from Mount Tabor Road is pretty flat and easy. You can backpack in and camp in a leanto.
Camel's Hump is a good hike.
Vermont State Parks with showers and hiking nearby: Lake Elmore, Groton, Smuggler's Notch, etc, etc.
If you're into backpacking with no showers get on the Long Trail.
