The Northeastern Vermont Experience

Northeastern Vermont is a region rich in wildlife, country charm, and the grace of a time long ago.

Some of the region's towns are also of historic significance or, in fact, have some interesting accolades of their own, well preserved much like the antiques you'll find there. ...More

The Lakes Region of Vermont

Northeastern Vermont, aptly dubbed "The Lakes Region of Vermont", has more than two dozen fresh water lakes, some connected by underwater caverns and most evolved due to glacial movements over the millennium.

The deepest lake in Vermont is Lake Willoughby, also a National Natural Landmark and renowned for its natural beauty.

The VAST Trail

The VAST Trail in Northeastern Vermont stretches through miles of wilderness, past snow covered mountains and frozen lakes. Groomed twice a week and generally well marked, VAST Trail passage is permitted with a VAST TMA Pass. ...More

Winter passage is dependant upon at least 4 inches of snow. Be sure to check www.vtvast.org for trail conditions.

The Kingdom Trails Network

Called the "ride of your life" by Yankee Magazine for mountain bikers who don't mind challenging steep climbs, dirt paths, and remote trails.

Enjoy the stunning views of mountain ranges and wildlife. In the winter pull out the cross country skis for multi mile straight-aways.

Be sure to have your pass that may be purchased at Kingdom Trails in East Burke. ...More

Hiking in the NEK

 

Hiking is a native pastime in Vermont. It's free and there is usually plenty of parking available.

There are many hiking trails in northeastern Vermont. Information and maps concerning those most travelled by, such a Willoughby State Forest, Jay Peak, and trails managed by the Northwoods Stewardship Center, are available.

However, this is little information on Gore Mountain, Monadnock Mountain, and Brosseau Mountain. In the far reaches of the Vermont's northeast corner, these three mountains offer some great backcountry hiking, an abundance of wildlife and geographical and historical significance. ...More
