We’ve spent most of the year highlighting Vermont’s charming small towns, mountain trails, skiing, and biking.
But one of the most underrated lifestyle gems we have?
Lake Champlain.
At 112 miles long and 8 miles wide at its widest point, this lake is one of the greatest assets in our state—and right now, we’re soaking in summer on the water.
Today we’re starting with a stop at the Lake Champlain Yacht Club—a private club with something for everyone. Whether you're into sailing, power boating, or just looking for a great family-friendly atmosphere, this place delivers.
Then we’re heading over to Spot on the Dock in Burlington. This place is a vibe. Dock your boat, grab a drink, enjoy a meal, and soak in the lakefront energy with good people all around.
If you’ve ever dreamed of living the lake life, Vermont has it dialed in.
Welcome to Lake Champlain. Let’s enjoy the day. 🌊⛵
