It seems almost unfair that Vermont, so spectacular with its hills, valleys, farms and small villages, should also have, as its westerly boundary, one of the most lovely lakes in the country. Lake Champlain is the sixth largest in the U.S., but what really makes it so special is the unspoiled natural beauty of its shoreline, and the unsurpassed views across the lake to the Green and Adirondack mountains.
The tour of the Champlain Islands takes full advantage of this wealth of beauty. Connected by bridges and causeways to the rest of Vermont, these islands are blessed with a unique combination of exceptional rural scenery and farmland that you enjoy while cycling along quiet lakeshore roads that wander along the water's edge. Easy cycling includes exploring Isle La Motte, the site of a French fort built in 1666, an optional ride into Canada, a wine tasting at Snow Farm Vineyard, and, sometime during your stay, a fun stop at Hero's Welcome General Store, the local community gathering spot full of fresh baked goods, local arts, and rugged necessities.
Bike Vermont also includes on this tour the very popular option of a half-day of professionally guided kayaking (additional cost) along the bays and islands of the lake.
You stay at the historic North Hero House. Built over a century ago, this lakeside inn has long been a local favorite. Recently redecorated, the inn provides comfortable rooms and excellent dining while still maintaining its essential old-fashioned character and charm.
