## Route description

VT 236 begins at an intersection with VT 105 in the Franklin County town of Sheldon on the banks of the Missisquoi River. Known as State Park Road, VT 236 runs north as a two-lane rural road through Sheldon, passing several local farms and residences in the area. Just over a mile from the junction, the route leaves the town of Sheldon and crosses into the town of Franklin. After a junction with Swamp Road and Stanley Road, VT 236 bends northwest, running along the eastern edge of Lake Carmi State Park. Soon reaching the northeastern edge of the park, VT 236 turns north and intersects with Marsh Farm Road, which serves as the main road through the state park. The route turns northeast after Lake Carmi State Park, crossing through fields and farms in Franklin. The route crosses a junction with Dewing Road, which connects VT 236 to VT 120.
