About Knight Island State Park

Knight Island State Park occupies most of an island in northern Lake Champlain, a short distance east of North Hero village. Visitors must arrange their own boat transport, since no docks serve the island and a water taxi is the other option. The park is kept largely natural, with seven remote campsites spread along the shoreline, six of them with rustic lean-to shelters. Campers should expect composting toilets and no drinking water, so they need to carry what they use. A trail circles the island, and the lake offers swimming and fishing. The park does not rent boats. Parking is available nearby at Knight Point State Park or Kill Kare State Park, which serve as launch points.
