    I didn’t realize this gem of a place was less than an hours drive away from me. The view is spectacular, it’s such a beautiful place to kayak, paddleboard, or canoe. I believe on the north end where the beach is there’s a parking lot across from it. The beach is right off the street and it’s not very big so it gets full. I suggest going early to get a spot, it’s worth it. They also have hiking trails heading towards the south end I believe. Lake Willoughby has a free public beach on the north end for sunbathing and swimming. The south end is home to a nude beach off to the side. They have a store & cabins along the way. You won’t be disappointed!!!
