Sunset Lake offers views of the surrounding hills and forests, especially during the fall foliage season. Sunset Lake is home to birds, fish, turtles, and beavers. The lake is accessible by Lake Road, which is off VT-9. Nearby attractions include The Art of Humor Gallery, Marlboro College, and Robb Family Farm.

Sunset Lake (96 acres) is a site for the Vermont LoonWatch annual survey. Birders are encouraged to volunteer as often and whenever they are able. See Join LoonWatch for details.
