Lake Champlain Details
This natural freshwater lake sprawls across two states and even into Canada, although most of its 313,600-acres sit along the western border of Vermont. This is the 6th-largest lake in the country, boasting 587-miles of shoreline and 70 individual islands. Because of its size, it is easy to see why this lake is a paradise for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and holidaymakers. There are 13 state parks on the Vermont side alone, where you can spend time swimming, camping, fishing, hiking, or simply lying on the beaches soaking up the sun. There are also plenty of lakeside towns where you can visit or stay. Burlington, Charlotte, Grand Island, Alburgh, and North Hero are just a couple of charming places worth checking out.
