Somerset occupies a remote mountain basin in southern Vermont’s Green Mountains, much of its territory within Green Mountain National Forest. The East Branch of the Deerfield River is impounded here as Somerset Reservoir, a backcountry waterbody bordered by forested ridges and reached by forest roads. Somerset is an unincorporated town: its former settlement declined after the logging era, and Vermont unincorporated the town in 1937. The area is known less for a town centre than for hiking, fishing and access to the surrounding forest.
