The Town of Lake Elmore calls itself “The Beauty Spot of Vermont.” Located in the southeastern part of Lamoille County, Elmore is mostly forested and agricultural land. Lake Elmore and Elmore Mountain, which rises almost from the lake’s shore, are prominent features of the town.

The town was named for Colonel Samuel Elmore, a landowner. The population in the 2000 census was 849.

Lake Elmore is 219 acres, and lies northwest of the village and empties into the Lamoille River through Pond Brook. Elmore Mountain is in the “Hogback Range” and its timber is mostly hardwood. The mountain has an elevation of 2,608 feet.
