Visit Island Pond

Visit Island Pond The place for information about what's new and happening in Island Pond and northern Essex County.

Island Pond, located in the Town of Brighton, is known to be a beautiful and quiet Northeast Kingdom town. Perhaps one of Vermont's best kept secrets, Island Pond's natural beauty consists of pristine Island Pond Lake, the historical district and Bluff Mountain. Together they provide many recreational activities throughout the year. With miles of trails and wide open spaces, Island Pond has become

the Snowmobile Capital of Vermont. Tourists can also enjoy other outdoor activities including fishing, hunting, swimming, hiking, biking, canoeing, horseback riding, cross-country and downhill skiing, and scenic lake cruises. In the fall, the foliage offers spectacular scenery for outdoor enthusiasts. In the winter, there are snowmobile races on Island Pond Lake. One of the town's major annual events is the Fourth of July celebration featuring a parade, music in the park, arts and crafts, vendors, games, fireworks and more.

We are very happy to report that the Boil Water Order has been lifted!! We do ask that you continue to follow the conservation order until we get the south reservoir back online. Thank you all so much for your patience while we made it through this difficult process.
