In depth

Westport, known as a historic gateway to the Adirondacks, has welcomed visitors by boat for over a century. Set on the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain—birthplace of the Adirondack Chair—this friendly, scenic town offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Play a round at Westport Golf, one of the Adirondacks' premier historic courses, and enjoy a meal at Winton’s 1898 Tavern. Catch professional theatre at the Depot Theatre, housed in an active, restored train station, or explore local art studios and live music at Ballard Park’s lakeside pavilion.

For outdoor lovers, the nearby Split Rock Wild Forest features 11+ miles of scenic hiking trails. Boaters will appreciate the full-service marina and state boat launch, while visitors can stay in charming local lodgings and dine at waterfront restaurants.

Don’t miss the Essex County Fair each summer, along with seasonal events like the Adirondack Harvest Festival.

And be sure to visit The Mill ADK—a vibrant creative hub offering workshops, events, and experiences that celebrate local art, culture, and community.
