About Burton Island State Park

Burton Island sits off the southwestern tip of St. Albans Point in Lake Champlain's Inland Sea. Because no cars are allowed, visitors arrive by private boat or the passenger ferry from Kill Kare State Park, a trip of roughly ten minutes. The island offers tent sites, lean-tos, remote tent sites, and cabins, plus a 100-slip marina with dockside electricity. Visitors can hike mostly flat trails, swim, fish, paddle, rent bikes, and play disc golf. A park interpreter leads hands-on programs such as night hikes and campfire talks.
