Poultney and Wells, Vermont, are the proud home of the beautiful Lake St. Catherine, 930-acres inclusive of Lily Pond to the north and Little Lake in the south. The lake reaches a depth of 68 feet in some locations, with an average depth of 32.2 feet. It is approximately 5 miles long and drains into a narrow channel which connects it with Little Pond.
