How we know this
Audubon: audubon.org/green-mountain/visit and /visit/parking-directions, read 2026-10-23. Neither page mentions a fee, admission or cost. Older Audubon Vermont pages said free with donations appreciated, but those now redirect to a landing page, and a Seven Days guide lists $2, so the fee is unconfirmed. Lot matched by the trails it serves and the published address, 255 Sherman Hollow Rd (about 400 m away).
Fees, hours and rules change. Posted signs at the trailhead always override this page.
