Golf in Newport

Newport is the largest city in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, serving as the commercial and cultural hub for Orleans and Essex counties. Lake Memphremagog, the long international lake that stretches from Newport north into Quebec, is the dominant geographic feature and the foundation of the city's identity as a border community with strong Canadian ties. The lake's summer boating season and winter ice fishing draw visitors from across the region, and the Northeast Kingdom Food Hub has made Newport a center for agricultural processing and distribution. The downtown's ongoing revitalization reflects the Kingdom's efforts to attract investment without sacrificing its authentic character.
