Lake Champlain Travel Tips

The ultimate Lake Champlain trip is the 363-mile bikeway around the entire lake and along the Richelieu River in Quebec. It's mostly paved, and where it isn't, there are paved alternatives.
Adirondack Coast Bikeways is a network of 14 loops on paved and unpaved (but passable for touring bikes) country roads that wind through the Boquet and AuSable river valleys and along Lake Champlain.
See a miniature circus, covered bridge, steamboat, and other historic artifacts at the Shelburne Museum.
Watch the elegant Royal Lipizzan Stallions perform.
Climb aboard a replica of a Revolutionary War gunboat for a live gun drill.
