Golf in East Poultney

East Poultney is a Rutland County village in the Slate Valley, a region that once produced the majority of American roofing slate from quarries that cut into the distinctive gray and green stone of the Taconic formation. The marble and slate geology shapes both the landscape and the built environment, with stone walls, quarry remnants, and slate-roofed buildings defining the character of these Taconic foothill communities. Lake St. Catherine, just east of the village, provides a freshwater recreational resource that has sustained summer cottage culture here for generations. The Poultney River valley provides a natural corridor connecting East Poultney to the New York border at Fair Haven, and the area's slate quarrying heritage is visible in stone fences and foundations throughout the region.
