Lake Willoughby

Willoughby Lake is the deepest lake in the area, making for lots of different stories, some true and some maybe not. Either way it is surrounded with mysteries. Picturesque Willoughby Gap supports two mountains (Mt. Pisgah and Mt. Hor) for hiking or ice climbing and each offers spectacular views from the top. Scuba divers love to explore the depths of Willoughby Lake, swimmers enjoy the cleanliness, boaters enjoy the expanse and fishermen enjoy the record size fish. There are three beaches for entertainment; one nice sandy beach is located at the north end of the lake which is the largest and most popular and the other two are at the south end. One is a family beach across the road from White Caps Campground (http://www.whitecapscampground.com/) and the other, for those so inclined, is a nudist beach.  For rentals and restaurant try the Willoughvale Inn and Cottages (www.willoughvale.com).

If you are looking for a building lot in the heart of the recreational zone of the NEK, you may have found it. This lot directly adjoins the Willoughby State Forest which is comprised of 7682 Acres open to hiking, snowshoeing, back country skiing, rock climbing and more. The State Forest also controls about 3 miles of shoreline on the south western side of the lake so this also affords you lake access without waterfront taxes! The building site has been cleared but the sale will also include a driveway installed to the building site, the state approved 3 bedroom septic installed, power run to the lot and a private drilled well. This lot is the last private lot before the state forest so the only homes you should have beyond you will be for your furry wildlife friends! Enjoy seasonal lake views from the site and great views of Bald and Goodwin Mountain. Willoughby Lake is over 1700 acres and over 330' deep. While photos might be stunning, there is nothing like seeing it in person from the North or South Beach.
