The Lake Champlain Islands of Vermont

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 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.
