Lake
Champlain Islands: Located on what Vermonters commonly
refer to as "Vermont's West
Coast", the Lake Champlain Islands are part of a land chain which includes the Alburg
Peninsula and the islands of the Isle la Motte, North Hero and Grand
Isle [including the towns of South Hero and Grand Isle]. The islands
can be accessed by car [Via Route 2 - Area
Map], or by one of the Lake Champlain
Ferries.
The State
Parks located on the islands are second to none, and are great for Camping.
One, is home to the largest natural sand beach in Vermont. Two of the
parks are on their own islands, which, of course, are only accessible by
boat. In short, for any type of water-sport, including year-round
fishing, it doesn't get any better than here on the islands.
However, many come just to visit the summer home of the famous Royal
Lipizzan Stallions in North Hero, or St. Anne's Shrine on the Isle La
Motte. Be sure to check
out our Calendar
of Events and Places
of Interest when planning your visit. Also check out Burlington,
Vermont - just minutes away, and with lots going on all summer.
Lastly, If you're a history buff, you should certainly check out The
History of the Lake Champlain Islands and The
Secrets of Crab Island! - Scroll
