1. Hero's Welcome
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 97 reviews
A most interesting store that deserves a stop. Full deli, bookstore, gifts, Vermont-made items, kayak, canoe, SUP and bike rentals, toy department...something for everybody!
Reviewed By RGinCT - So. Windsor, CT
Hero’s Welcome, a stone’s throw from Lake Champlain, is a memorable general store. The variety of goods and services it offers is extraordinary: food, wine, clothing, books, toys, maps, photos, kitchenware, greeting cards, toiletries – you name it, and they probably sell it. They also serve sandwiches, excellent strong coffee, and cookies the size of hockey pucks. We went in to buy a New York Times and wound up spending $80 (“Things like that happen all the time,” a clerk told us.) They rent canoes and kayaks too. Yankee Magazine purportedly named Hero’s Welcome the best general store in New England, and it’s quite possible that they’re right.
2. Alburg Dunes State Park

The water is very shallow although pretty clean. There are only port-o-potties there, no real bathrooms or changing rooms. Just an OK beach, really - we preferred the North Beach in Burlington, VT by far.
3. St. Anne's Shrine

There is nothing like attending Mass outdoors, with the warm sun on your face. Pleasant Fathers with great homilies.
Then take a walk up the hill for breakfast.
Great place for kids, beach across the street and kids can run around a park like area while your at Mass.
Great area to camp and bring family for a very affordable weekend.
Small gift shop available.
4. Grand Isle State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 59 reviews
Reviewed By samls86 - Boston, Massachusetts
Grand Isle is tucked away on Lake Champlain VT and is a real hidden gem. Typical campground setting, fire pits and picnic tables, bathrooms and showers. You can choose between a cabin, lean-to, or straight up campsite with hookups or no hookups.
We like to rough it and this is a step up. All the amenities you need and a close drive to burlington to check out local breweries and sights. Hiking also available in the area. If you feel up to it and have your passports cross over into Canada!
5. Point Au Roches State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 108 reviews
Reviewed By Raymond M - Milton, Vermont
Hiked here during a stay for our 32nd anniversary. Very nice park...there are three 'points' you can hike, and there is a mooring area in Deep Bay for boats coming in from Lake Champlain. It is all free unless you go to the other side of Short Point to swim...which we did not. We recommend going out Long Point all the way to Rocky Point. There are two benches there, and a wonderful view across the lake. You will walk about 3.2 miles (1.6 miles each way), but it is all pretty level and well maintained.
6. Vesco Ridge Vineyard

Reviewed By Ontheroad A - Killingly, Connecticut
I can't say enough good things about Vesco Ridge Vineyard. The owners welcomed us warmly to VRV on a very rainy Sunday afternoon. There was a wide selection of very good wines. We also sampled wine ice cream, homemade chocolate wine syrup, wine slushies, and dips that went well with the wines. The vineyard is just a little north of Plattsburgh, NY on the Adirondack Wine Coast Trail. It is definitely worth a stop along the Trail.

We had never been to Elf's before and did not know what to expect but our bartender/hostess was great at explaining all the products they make and have, and showing us the tasting room. We tasted ciders and wine and enjoyed ourselves immensely. They also...MoreThanks for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed your time at Elfs. Hope you visit again soon.

Absolutely amazing, we were gifted the flight by our daughter and, as we were all on vacation together, we were committed to taking the flight at a fixed time. We were concerned that the weather was not going to be suitable as storms and heavy rain were forecast, however, Jason and Matt maintained contact with us during the day and improved conditions meant we were able to go ahead as planned.
We were met at the pontoon by our pilot Matt who ran through some basic safety points with us. Then the flight which was incredible, Matt pointing out locations as we cruised above the lake and islands, we flew up to the Canadian border and he pointed out the Montreal skyline on the horizon before flying back to base and a smooth landing. An amazing experience which we would recommend to anyone. Thank you Seaplanes R Fun for an unforgettable afternoon.

This is our Families weekend summer retreat. Thankfully we only live 5 mins. Away. The BEST! Even when it's busy it's big enough where you can find your own spot and not feel like you are being crowded. The Lake kinda has its own tide as it lowers and raises at certain times so when it is lowered you are able to walk across to one of the islands. They have canoe and kyack rentals as well. Horseshoe pits and volleyball nets as well. You won't want to leave. I can't wait til 2017 summer season! I'll probably be there just look for the blonde with the bright green kyack! Lol
