Getting To & Around the Northeast Kingdom

BY DRIVING

The Northeast Kingdom is located in the far northeastern corner of Vermont and includes the counties of Caledonia, Essex and Orleans. There are two interstates that lead into the region: I-91 & I-93, making access to the region easy and accessible from all points in the Northeast and southern Canada.

Major state highways include routes 2, 5, 14, 15, 16, 58, 100, 114 and 122, not to mention many more roads in the tri-county region. For more information on the state highways in the Northeast Kingdom, check out the Vermont Agency of Transportation for road maps on particular towns needed.
