"Northeast Kingdom" is a term used passionately throughout Vermont and beyond when referring to the corner of the state against the Canadian Border and the upper Connecticut River. The Northeast Kingdom received its nickname over 50 years ago in honor of its sheer splendor. The term suggests an enviable and sought-after quality of life and without a doubt, the state's most beautiful and undisturbed region. The Kingdom offers breath-taking scenery, outstanding lodging and dining, ecotourism and agritourism, Vermont made products, and recreational opportunities which have gained the Northeast Kingdom national and international recognition.
Occupying the northeast corner of Vermont, the "Northeast Kingdom" represents nearly one-fifth of Vermont's land mass and over 1/4 of it's water, with over 200 lakes and ponds. The area is densely forested, and rich in New England history. You'll find refreshing farm stands, inviting restaurants, charming inns, eclectic museums and antique shops.
An outdoor lover's paradise, the "Kingdom Trails" are rated as one of the top five mountain biking networks in the world. The Northeast Kingdom also has eight state parks, some of which have camping facilities. There are cabin rentals on all our major lakes including Seymour, Willoughby, Joe's Pond, Harvey's Lake, Memphremagog, Crystal and Island Pond, to name our larger lakes. It has been said that the area could be the country's largest theme park, the theme being nature.
Good ole' New England charm and hospitality await your arrival.

Vermont Events in June
Art from Guantanamo Bay
6/24/22 - 8/21/22
"Art from Guantanamo Bay" features 100 artworks from six detainees of the U.S. military camp who were imprisoned up to 20 years without being charged with any crimes. An earlier iteration of the nationally touring and internationally famous show resulted in a federal ban on removing artwork from Guantanamo Bay. A panel discussion featuring one artist (who will Zoom from Serbia), and a St. Johnsbury lawyer who represented some of the detainees will take place Sunday, June 26th, at Catamount Arts in St. Johnsbury, where the exhibit will be on display through August 21st.
