Lake Willoughby stands as one of Vermont's most stunning and pristine fishing destinations. Located in the Northeast Kingdom region in the town of Westmore, this 1,687-acre glacial lake reaches depths of 320 feet, making it the deepest lake entirely within Vermont. Surrounded by the dramatic cliffs of Mount Pisgah and Mount Hor, Lake Willoughby is often referred to as the Lucerne of Vermont due to its resemblance to the Swiss Alps lake. With crystal-clear waters fed by underground springs rather than sediment-carrying rivers, the lake offers exceptional visibility for anglers. Its 10 miles of shoreline provide diverse fishing opportunities, with about half developed with homes and the rest remaining in its natural state.
