オルレアン郡の湖・トップ6

Pulpit Rock is perfectly situated to take advantage of a gap in the trees. That's Lake Willoughby down below.

The Vermont Route 5a runs along the western shore of Lake Willoughby. It is likened to a Norwegian fjord with its high sided mountains that rise directly out of the water and is a favorite beauty spot for many locals. You can swim in the chilly, clear water at either end at either North or South Beach.

You don't have to venture far from the road to appreciate the water cascading down the Peter Gilman Waterfall. The river tumbles out of the woods and passes underneath the road before gushing out into Lake Willoughby.

Many say that South Beach is more picturesque than North Beach on Lake Willoughby, but both offer up great views of this glacial lake and the surrounding peaks. The water is crystal clear and invites you in for a swim. You can also rent kayaks should you have some extra time to spend in the area.

This trail leads you to Mount Pisgah, providing stunning views of Lake Willoughby throughout. This segment takes you between two charming ponds on a wooden boardwalk, offering some unique views.

Long Pond is a 99-acre reservoir at the foot of Haystack Mountain in Vermont. The pond is most renowned for being home to a load of birds (namely birds of prey). Long Pond Road circles around a third of the lake and offers a bunch of different views.

View of Lake Willoughby. You might also see eagles circling or chipmunks crawling. :-)
