Essex County, Vermont

Essex Location Map Vermont

Essex County claims the northeastern corner of Vermont. It’s the least populated county in the state. Wilderness reigns supreme here. The Connecticut River forms its eastern border with New Hampshire. Moose outnumber people in some parts.

It’s a snowmobiler’s dream in winter, with hundreds of miles of trails. The Nulhegan Basin offers prime wildlife viewing. Fishing? Some of the best in New England. Canoeists paddle pristine rivers.

Fall colors here are intense and linger longer than in southern parts of the state. Island Pond, the largest community, was once a busy railroad town. Now, it’s a gateway to outdoor adventure. This is Vermont at its most raw and untamed.
