What are the safest towns in Vermont?
You could go by the list above - or you could choose another source and compare. According to Safety.com, as of the time of this writing in October 2021, the safest places to live in Vermont are Barre (#1), Essex (#2), Swanton (#3), Montpelier (#4), and Stowe (#5). Overall, Vermont has actually been called the #1 safest state in the US by numerous sources based on several parameters. It’s a state that’s as beautiful as it is safe, and not a whole lot of states have that bragging right! The best part is that it’s not like these towns are huge, either, so you’ve got that small-town vibe along with the small-town safety. For example, East Barre had under 900 people living there as of the last census. Don’t count the larger towns and small cities out, though! Essex is home to approximately 21,000 people, making it the second-most populous city in the state.
Where are some beautiful places in Vermont?
Well, to be honest, this question is nearly impossible to answer! Although the adjective “beautiful” is truly dependent on the eye of the beholder, so to speak, Vermont is still an objectively beautiful place. It has a special magic to it year-round, and don’t even get us started on how amazing this state is during the fall. Some of our favorite scenic places in Vermont you can’t miss include gems like Texas Falls, which features an easy hike to a gorgeous waterfall, and Lake Willoughby, which is truly a sight to see (bring a camera). All of our state parks are well worth a visit; each is absolutely breathtaking in its own way, and must be experienced by everyone at least once in their lives (more if you live here – no excuse!). If biking or hiking is your thing, you can’t miss the incredible Colchester Causeway, which is three miles of the most incredible trail in the universe (at least we think so).
