Lake Willoughby VT Real Estate For Sale

Lake Willoughby — To experience Lake Willoughby is to experience Shangri-la. It somehow changes you. Known as the “Lucerne of America” for its similarity to Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne, it is considered by many to be Vermont’s most spectacular lake. With its dramatic cliffs towering over its crystal clear waters, Lake Willoughby will mesmerize you with its beauty. Cliff climbers from all over the world come to Willoughby to refine or define their skills. The lake consists of 1,643 acres, and with a depth in excess of 300’, it is the deepest in the state.

The lake, listed as a National Natural Landmark, boasts catches that include rainbow trout, lake trout, brown trout, landlocked salmon, and yellow perch. The swimming is superb as is the boating, canoeing, and kayaking. The wooded mountains surrounding the lake provide for excellent hiking and magnificent scenery. Willoughby State Forest encompasses 7,300 acres in northeastern Vermont. The sheer cliffs of Mt Pisgah and Mt Hor provide for a favorable nesting habitat for peregrine falcons.
