Enjoying the Champlain Islands and beyond
Grand Isle is known as "the beauty spot of Vermont." Tucked in by water on all sides, Grand Isle is part of the Lake Champlain Islands, which consist of South Hero, North Hero, and Isle La Motte.
Here,
you can get away and relax, or enjoy the numerous recreational activities,
historic attractions, and restaurants in the area. For detailed information
about the Islands, see www.champlainislands.com.
From Grand Isle, a half-hour drive south takes you to Burlington, Vermont, and an hour-and-a-half drive north takes you to Montréal, Québec. For more information about Vermont attractions, see the official site for the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing www.1-800-vermont.com.

has two access points for nonmotorized boats only. A public boat access

Grand Isle is an ideal location to watch water birds, such as ducks, geese,
gulls, and herons. You will also catch sight of an array of songbirds,
including the acrobatic swallow. An occasional bald eagle, falcons, hawks,
osprey, owls, and vultures also roam the skies. The Grand Isle Ferry Landing
