Welcome to the official Island Pond Chamber of
Commerce website.
Island Pond, located in the Town of Brighton, is known to be a beautiful
and quiet Northeast Kingdom town. Perhaps one of Vermont's best kept secrets,
Island Pond's natural beauty consists of pristine Island Pond Lake, the
historical district and Bluff Mountain. Together they provide many recreational
activities throughout the year.
With miles of trails and wide open spaces, Island
Pond has become the Snowmobile Capital of Vermont. Tourists can also enjoy other
outdoor activities including fishing, hunting, swimming, hiking, biking,
canoeing, horseback riding, cross-country and downhill skiing, and scenic lake
cruises. In the fall, the foliage offers spectacular scenery for outdoor
enthusiasts. In the winter, there are snowmobile races on Island Pond Lake. One
of the town's major annual events is the Fourth of July celebration featuring a
parade, music in the park, arts and crafts, vendors, games, fireworks and more.
Island Pond is famous internationally for being one of the first international railroad junctions in the United States, and our often-photographed railroad station. The town experienced economic growth in 1853 when the St. Lawrence and
Atlantic Railroad (the first international railroad), included Brighton
as the stop between Portland, Maine and Montreal, Canada.
We Also have a fine school, library, and a wonderful summer
recreation program for children.
