Welcome to the northwest coast of New England!
The Lake Champlain Islands have more shoreline and islands than any other part of Vermont. Here a traveler may come upon breathtaking views at any bend in the road. Located between two great cities, Montreal, Quebec and Burlington, Vermont, our small towns and stunning scenery offer quiet rural charm.
Enjoy lakeside lodging and dining, hiking and biking trails, as well as year-round fishing, boating and golf. Sample local cheeses, chocolate
and wines. Feast in autumn on apples, cider and pies, while shopping for antiques and mementos. Explore one of the world's oldest coral reefs,
New England's oldest log cabin, and other historic sites. Or bask on a sandy beach in one of our State Parks. Stay a day, a week or a lifetime!
Doing business in the Islands
The Champlain Islands offer the chance to enjoy Island living, while doing business within an hour's drive of Montreal, Burlington or upstate New York. Islands businesses have access to the Interstate and airports, and can be reached by car, ferry or boat. Our small and micro businesses include a variety of service, tourism and agricultural small enterprises. Industrial sites are available in the Alburg Business Park. A thriving summer tourist season supports lodgings, restaurants and a wide range of retail establishments.
