Hiking

Whether you're looking for an easy walk or a challenging climb, hiking in the Lake Champlain Region is a rewarding experience. The many Lake Champlain hiking trails will take you through the lush countryside, wooded forests and to the tops of the mountains.
Consider a historic walking tour through one of the region's well preserved and historically significant villages, or try the LaChute River Walk in Ticonderoga. For a scenic excursion, climb Coon Mountain or Belfry, featuring an old fire tower and stunning views from the top.
For a picturesque drive, head up Mount Defiance and enjoy a panoramic view of Lake Champlain, Fort Ticonderoga, and the Green Mountains of Vermont. You can drive almost to the summit on a historic road made by the army of British General Burgoyne in 1777, and then walk to the observation deck.
