About North Hero State Park

This day-use state park sits on Lake Champlain in North Hero. Visitors can swim and fish in the lake, and the park has a boat launch, though no boats are rented there. The land includes floodplain forest that is rare in Vermont and provides habitat for deer, waterfowl, and other wildlife. Water levels can rise enough to flood parts of the park in some seasons. No staff are on site, and day-use fees are paid by donation at a self-service box. The park is also a stop on the Lake Champlain Paddlers' Trail.
