About this city
Also known as: Vermont's Fjord Country
Westmore is a pristine wilderness and resort town situated in Orleans County, in the remote and stunningly beautiful Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. Established in the late 18th century, the town is dominated and defined by Lake Willoughby, a magnificent, deep glacial lake flanked by the dramatic, sheer cliffs of Mount Pisgah and Mount Hor, which together create a landscape strikingly reminiscent of a Scandinavian fjord. With a tiny year-round population, Westmore transforms into a highly sought-after seasonal retreat for eco-tourists, outdoor enthusiasts, and creative souls looking for untouched natural grandeur, absolute tranquility, and exceptional freshwater sports.
