Lake Iroquois is a convert|229|acre|km2|sing=on lake in northwestern Vermont, bordered by 4 towns: Hinesburg, St. George, Williston, and Richmond. Lake Iroquois (formerly known as Hinesburg pond) was created in 1867 to supply mills in Hinesburg with a better water supply. Building a dam on Pond Brook caused the existing spring-fed pond to rise above its banks and become the current lake. The towns share a beach on the lake, plus there is a public boat access.
