Get Away From It All At This Crystal Clear Lake In Vermont

Looking for a perfectly dreamy spot to slip into the water and cool off this summer? Look no further than this incredibly picturesque lake in northern Vermont. Here’s why Lake Willoughby is the crystal-clear swimming hole you need in your life.

Lake Willoughby is a glassy lake in the town of Westmore.

It’s known for its crystalline blue waters and heart-stopping views.

Gazing into the "Willoughby Gap" from the shore is a truly awesome experience.

Though it’s gorgeous, this lake is hardly a secret.

It was named the third best lake in New England by Yankee Magazine in 2010.

Lake Willoughby has a public beach that extends about a quarter mile on its north shore and another at the bottom of the South Bay Area.

Besides its clarity, the lake also boasts some pretty chilly temperatures. Still, that shouldn’t deter boaters or intrepid summer bathers.

In fact, the lake is a popular spot for divers because of the surreal clearness of the water.

The lake is also surrounded by dense forest that’s perfect for hiking, so you can enjoy your time here even when swimming season is over.

Whether it’s your first time visiting Lake Willoughby or your hundredth, you’re sure to get lost in its beauty.
