Lake Willoughby is a lake in the town of Westmore in Orleans County in the northeast section of Vermont, United States. Willoughby is a glacial lake over 300' deep in places, making it the deepest lake entirely contained in the state [1]. It resembles a Norwegian fjord. Lake facilities offer swimming, hiking, and ice fishing. There is a nude beach on the lake's southern shore.[2] Route 5A runs along the lake's eastern edge.

The lake's southern end is surrounded by the Willoughby State Forest. This state park includes Mount Pisgah, Mount Hor, and Bartlett Mountain.
