It lies 12.1 miles south-west of Burlington, VT (from Burlington, VT: bearing 227°T), and is situated 8.3 miles west of Shelburne.

The air, especially in the late afternoon, carries the clean, cool breath of the water, mingled with the earthy scent of tilled soil and the sweet perfume of late-blooming wildflowers. Willsboro itself is a quiet gathering of homes and businesses, where the pace feels measured, dictated by the changing seasons and the gentle ebb and flow of daily life, a place where the horizon feels both close and infinitely distant. The history of Willsboro is written in its enduring connection to the land and the water, a legacy shaped by generations of farmers and fishermen who understood the rhythms of this fertile basin. For centuries, the bounty of the lake and the richness of the soil have sustained its inhabitants, fostering a local economy deeply rooted in agriculture, with apple orchards and dairy farms dotting the landscape. The presence of the lake, a vital artery for transport and recreation, has always been central to Willsboro's identity, its shores offering tranquil havens and a sense of boundless possibility. Though the grander narratives of industry may have passed it by, Willsboro holds its distinctiveness in the quiet persistence of its traditions and the unpretentious beauty of its natural setting, a place where the past feels not so much buried as interwoven into the very fabric of the present.
