Where is Newport Center Located?
Newport Center is found in the northern part of Orleans County, Vermont. It sits in a valley, which is a low area between hills or mountains. A small stream called Mud Creek flows through this valley.
Mud Creek flows towards the northwest and eventually joins the Missisquoi River. The Missisquoi River then travels west until it reaches Lake Champlain, a very large lake. So, the water from Newport Center's Mud Creek ends up in Lake Champlain!
