Franklin County, Vermont

Franklin Location Map Vermont

Franklin County is up against the Canadian border in northwestern Vermont. Lake Champlain forms its western edge. Yep, it’s dairy country alright. St. Albans is the county seat with a lovely historic downtown.

The annual Maple Festival here is a big deal. Rails-to-trails bike paths offer scenic pedaling. Ice fishing is popular on Lake Carmi in winter. Orchards produce crisp apples and sweet cider.

The Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge is a birder’s paradise, where you can spot snow geese by the thousands during migration. It’s where Vermont and Quebec cultures blend, creating something uniquely its own.
