Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Kate Smith-Lin and Lorne Paterson
Lake Willoughby is a very special place for us (Kate’s family has had a cabin here for generations!) The lake is in rural Vermont- all activities are outside in nature. Weather permitting we recommend going for a hike on one of the many trails surrounding the lake, take a kayak or canoe for a paddle, lounge by the water with friends/family, or do some leaf peeping. This place is about simplicity... embrace lake life! Thunderstorms and rain are common in this area. We suggest bringing indoor games, books, and rain gear to venture outside in! Come prepared to slow down and relax if the weather is not ideal.
