✨️The Northeast Kingdom of Vermont is a stunner! One of the highlights there is Vermont’s deepest lake, Willoughby. Some of the best views of Lake Willoughby, flanked by impressive vertical rocky cliffs on both sides, are experienced from the overlooks on the nearby ⛰️ Mount Pisgah hiking trail!
📌Save this as a reminder to make this stunning place a priority on your next trip to Vermont!
👇 Here are the deets:
🏷 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬: “Mount Pisgah Trail” (we did the South Trail, but you can also start at the North Trail as they connect)
📍 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Orleans, Vermont
📏 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: ~4.5 miles out and back
📈 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧: ~1,650 ft
🚗 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: 10-12 spots at the official trailhead, more parking across the road, where there are also toilets.
💡 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬: 🥱 Start early. We started hiking right after catching sunrise on the North Beach of Lake Willoughby (highly recommend!). We had the overlooks to ourselves at the top to ourselves for a long time, but there were a ton of people coming up the trail when we were descending around 10am.
❗️ Don’t miss the North lookout 🤩! If you’re using AllTrails, there is a second “North Lookout” beyond the “end” of the trail (the connection to the North Trail) that also has great views.
