The Northwest VT Maple Open House Weekend Tour
The Northwest Vermont Region
Rolling hills and dairy farms define much of Vermont’s northwest corner, a sparsely settled land of open vistas that hugs the Canadian border. Spreading west toward Lake Champlain, it reaches from the Green Mountain foothills to the streets of a vibrant small city, St. Albans. On one side of Northwest Vermont, you’ll find a treasure trove of historic covered bridges; on the other side are pristine waters and wetlands where herons hunt and sturgeon spawn. Winding through pastures and villages in between is the Missisquoi River, which ends at Lake Champlain in a lovely bay belonging to both Vermont and Quebec.
