For a place we never knew existed and just happily stumbled upon, it was more than a pleasant surprise.
.
.
Lake Willoughby, 5 miles long with a max depth of 325 feet. A glacial lake parked between two fjord like mountains in Westmore Vermont.
.
.
The path around the south end was easy walking and well marked.
.
.
With some seriously beautiful views.
.
.
The little beach was tiny, but I imagine it’s packed with swimmers in the summer.
.
.
The boardwalk was a nice addition as the ground was a bit soggy.
.
.
Shame it was so cold and windy, I could easily have pulled up a stump and relaxed here for hours.
.
.
Even the stairs were kind.
.
.
.
If you’re ever in the area check it out.

.
And don’t forget your camera.

River's world..... 
That is stunning.

If we hadn’t been headed home I would have spent more time exploring…

Just gorgeous. Reminiscent of some of the scenery around where I live. Mountains and lakes together are spectacular!

They are. And much rarer on this side of the continent.

Fjords in Vermont? I would have never even thought…and they are gorgeous as is that lake.

There are lots of glacial mountains and chasms in New England but not many lakes. This was a treat.

Reminds me of the “Willoughby” Twilight Zone episode. A true classic!

I think I’ve seen them all but don’t remember a Willoughby.

That’s gotta be cold water, even in the summer.

It was too cold to try it, but I’m sure you’re right.
