Waterford offers a rare blend of river-valley scenery and everyday convenience, set along the Connecticut River and the broad expanse of Moore Reservoir. Residents enjoy quick trips to arts, dining, and services in St. Johnsbury and across the river in Littleton, while still feeling part of a close-knit community in Caledonia County. On the water, paddlers and anglers gravitate to Moore Reservoir’s quiet coves and boat launches supported by the stewardship of Great River Hydro; start with the company’s recreation information for access details. The town’s own resources—permits, road updates, and meeting minutes—are easy to find through the Town of Waterford’s official site. For a special night out, the award-winning Rabbit Hill Inn anchors Lower Waterford with refined New England hospitality, and nearby St. Johnsbury adds science-forward fun at the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium.
Families appreciate strong local education. Waterford School (K–8) is part of the Caledonia Central Supervisory Union, known for small class sizes and community involvement. Many high school students choose the renowned St. Johnsbury Academy, which offers expansive academics, arts, and athletics. Housing ranges from classic farmhouses and river-view cottages to newer homes on quiet side roads, with swift access to US-2 and the I-91/I-93 corridors—ideal for commuting or weekend adventures.
