Westport, NY is an idyllic town on the shores of Lake Champlain. Enjoy magical moments at the foothills of The Adirondacks.

1. Paddle out to the center of the lake and spy a pair of bald eagles soaring to their favorite perch.

2. Westport is abundant with easy/moderate trails which are accessible in all seasons. Visit the Westport Preserve for a short climb to a summit with views of Lake Champlain. Each visit might reveal something new; ramps blooming, wildflowers blossoming, wild blueberries, multi-color leaves, or snow capped branches!

3. Stroll from The Mill to the Essex Food Hub across the street to experience the bounty of local food producers and collect provisions for your next meal.

4. Wander down our town sidewalk to the “coziest bookstore in the ADK” , chat with their writer-in-residence about upcoming events and pick up a new book for a lazy afternoon on the rolling hills of Ballard Park. On your 1 mile walk to the center of town, visit The Mill’s flower designer at Vagabond Blooms to learn what flowers grow in The North Country. You journey will be rewarded with views of the lake, picnic tables and a lifeguarded swimming beach in summer. In winter the lake view can be enjoyed while skating at the top of the park or whisking down its epic sledding hill!

5. In the summer months just a stone’s throw from The Mill, “take a journey without leaving the station” or take a short drive to catch a performance at “America’s most respected and beloved summer home for rising generations of violinists, violists, and cellists.”

In Westport you will find quiet in the every day and in the big sky at night.
