There’s lots to do, like hike, golf, camp and take boat cruises, but the beauty is, how easy it is to not do anything. « less

The day we were there was sunny and the lake was beautiful with the sun reflecting off of it. There is a raised pier that you can view the lake from. There was a cute little eating place near the walkway that has good food. After you place your order the cook grills your food outside on the grill and... More

Know your history before visiting and a nice visit becomes even better. More specifically, naval history, look it up! Present day however, we had ospreys flying overhead and kayaks in the water. Kayaks are available to rent or you can bring your own. Saw young and old jumping fom a 4 foot swimming platform into the lake and enjoying their... More

Great Lake to visit with a lot of history in terms of battles and Indian history. I enjoyed a boat your we took on the lake allowing us to see the tiny islands up close. There is a sailing club which goes out on the lake, it is great to see them learning and zipping around on the lake.

If you are looking to escape the crowds and stress of a beach vacation then visit the Champlain Valley. Swim all you want in the cool and clean lake waters and no Sharks! Besides swimming, there are quiet country roads and attractions like the Shelburne Museum and the Vermont Teddy Bear factory. We have a small boat that we bring... More

I spend the afternoon at Kingsland Bay State Park on the lake. The park is small with beautiful grass field going down to the water. There are docks, trails, BBQ area and tennis court. Great place to spend a sunny day with the family.

I spent a weekend on the shor of lake Champlain in South Hero, Vermont and it was one of the most relaxing times I have had in quite a while. The area is beautiful and with the lake in the background you can't help but sleep like a baby.

We had never been to VT before, and my husband always wanted to fish Lake Champlain. We rented a 3 BR chalet, as another couple was supposed to travel with us, but backed out. So, we had a chalet that sleeps 8 for the 2 of us! The area is beautiful. Alburg is a small town with lots of charm.... More

Fun! Fun! Fun! This has got to be our favorite place to bike ride. You can ride, hang out at the beach for a while and ride some more. You can stay in Burlington, the islands, or anywhere along the way. Every town around the lake has something different to offer. It's the most becautiful place on earth no matter... More
