Map of Newport (Vermont)
See
[edit]- 1 St. Mary Star of the Sea, 191 Clermont Terrace. Roman Catholic church opened in 1909.
- 2 Lake Memphremagog. Newport is on the shoreline of the large lake and has a wooden boardwalk that can be walked or biked that leads over the water. It is also rumored that the lake holds a lake monster, Memphre.
Do
[edit]- Newport Cycle Path. The former Massawippi Valley Railway line from Newport to Lennoxville was abandoned in 1990 and the track removed in 1992. Three segments are now cycle trails: the Newport Cycle Path from Newport to the Canadian border and (in Quebec) Beebe Plain to Ayers Cliff and North Hatley to Lennoxville.
Buy
[edit]- Pick and Shovel. An independent hardware store turned mega-mart. You can find almost anything in this great spot: a toilet, board game, banana split, or new pet fish.
Eat
[edit]- Lago, Main Street. A wonderful Italian restaurant. The food is truly artisan, you won't find any overcooked baked ziti here. The salads, pizzas, and seafood are worth highlighting.
Drink
[edit]There are a few bars on Main Street which are also just a short walk away from the waterfront boardwalks near Lake Memphremagog.
