Richford, tucked up in the northeast corner of
Franklin County, Vermont, retains its largely rural character. The
rolling hills and farmland, much along the banks of the Missisquoi
River where it descends from Canada, support forests, wildlife and
homesteading. The town has abundant water, excellent air quality, and
four-season recreation with access to nearby lakes and mountains.

Richford is a wonderful place to live, work and
play. With a population of only 2,200, Richford affords a quaint small
town feel, however it is large enough to afford the local population
with great schools, shops, restaurants, and health care. For those
visiting, Richford provides several hotels to accommodate our guests.
Richford offers year round recreation activities. The Missisquoi River
Valley Rail Trail stretches 26 miles from Richford to St. Albans.
Cyclists, hikers, cross country skiers and snowmobilers will delight in
the scenic beauty of the trail. The State Snowmobile trail comes right
into Richford and continues on into Quebec, Canada. Richford is
surrounded by several ski resorts. Jay Peak is only 15 miles away.
Mount Sutton in Quebec is 7 miles away. Bromont, Owl's Head, Stowe and
Smugglers Notch are all within an hour of Richford.
