Lucky are us who get to call Vermont home. With nature surrounding our every turn, it’s not hard to escape the hustle and bustle of life while in the Green Mountain State, and if you are looking for a place to get even further away from civilization, head over to the stunning and most secluded Lake in Vermont, Lake Groton, where you will find a placid and isolated body of water that is perfect for reconnecting with nature on your next summer adventure.

Located roughly 30 miles east of Montpelier in the little populated town of Groton, Lake Groton is one of the most isolated and beautiful of Vermont lakes.

Due to the accessible waterways found in this area, Colonists settled in the area earlier than other parts of the state. But don’t let that fool you and make you think this area is heavily populated.
