Boating
To the east, the Green Mountains of Vermont. To the west, the High Peaks of New York’s Adirondacks. Lake Champlain is, quite simply, the most scenic waterway a boating enthusiast could ever find.

New York’s “Adirondack Coast” attracts recreational boaters drawn by its beauty, as well as its access (several marinas and launch sites) and other services.

In addition to recreational boating, there are scenic and pleasure cruises available, and Champlain is also a haven for kayakers and canoeists looking to explore the bays and shoreline. Public beaches offer splendid swimming opportunities.

A fun place in summer.
