Welcome to Colchester, Vermont

Colchester is the third largest community in Vermont with over 17,000 residents. Several important businesses and organizations call our town home: St. Michael's College, VT Public Radio and the VT Youth Orchestra. We are located on the shores of Malletts Bay, part of beautiful Lake Champlain, where we offer access to numerous water sports, including boating, swimming and fishing. Colchester has many parks that invite you to hike, play tennis, enjoy a summer concert or simply relax.

Burlington, a cosmopolitan and collegiate center for the Champlain Valley region, is only minutes away to the south. To the east, the verdant slopes of the Green Mountains beckon to hikers, hunters, skiers and nature lovers. Situated along the Interstate 89 corridor, minutes from Burlington International Airport, rail and bus stations, Colchester offers convenient transportation links.

Come visit us and discover all that we have to offer!
