1. Hero's Welcome
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 97 reviews
A most interesting store that deserves a stop. Full deli, bookstore, gifts, Vermont-made items, kayak, canoe, SUP and bike rentals, toy department...something for everybody!
Reviewed By RGinCT - So. Windsor, CT
Hero’s Welcome, a stone’s throw from Lake Champlain, is a memorable general store. The variety of goods and services it offers is extraordinary: food, wine, clothing, books, toys, maps, photos, kitchenware, greeting cards, toiletries – you name it, and they probably sell it. They also serve sandwiches, excellent strong coffee, and cookies the size of hockey pucks. We went in to buy a New York Times and wound up spending $80 (“Things like that happen all the time,” a clerk told us.) They rent canoes and kayaks too. Yankee Magazine purportedly named Hero’s Welcome the best general store in New England, and it’s quite possible that they’re right.
2. Snow Farm Vineyard and Winery

It was great driving through the countryside the short drive to the winery. They are very friendly and helpful finding the wine for you. The wines are all a little different from some you might be used to ( in a positive sense). $7 for tasting and extra $2.50 for ice wine ( which I would skip).
3. Grand Isle State Park

Reviewed By samls86 - Boston, Massachusetts
Grand Isle is tucked away on Lake Champlain VT and is a real hidden gem. Typical campground setting, fire pits and picnic tables, bathrooms and showers. You can choose between a cabin, lean-to, or straight up campsite with hookups or no hookups.
We like to rough it and this is a step up. All the amenities you need and a close drive to burlington to check out local breweries and sights. Hiking also available in the area. If you feel up to it and have your passports cross over into Canada!
4. Point Au Roches State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 108 reviews
Reviewed By Raymond M - Milton, Vermont
Hiked here during a stay for our 32nd anniversary. Very nice park...there are three 'points' you can hike, and there is a mooring area in Deep Bay for boats coming in from Lake Champlain. It is all free unless you go to the other side of Short Point to swim...which we did not. We recommend going out Long Point all the way to Rocky Point. There are two benches there, and a wonderful view across the lake. You will walk about 3.2 miles (1.6 miles each way), but it is all pretty level and well maintained.

This golf course also offers a nice Friday night meal including burgers and hotdogs, etc., all for $10 per person. Friends invited to go and it was the most fun evening, enjoying the food and draft beers. Sitting out on the deck and watching some of the last golf parties finish up was very enjoyable. Would love to do this again.

We had never been to Elf's before and did not know what to expect but our bartender/hostess was great at explaining all the products they make and have, and showing us the tasting room.

Reviewed By K2service - Visalia
I have great memories of going here as a young child and teenager. Good thing I have those as it was a waste of a trip now all these years later. The place looked dirty and run down and the inside reflected the same. The only thing good about it was the Goat who wanted attention. No of us will be going back there.

This is our Families weekend summer retreat. Thankfully we only live 5 mins. Away. The BEST! Even when it's busy it's big enough where you can find your own spot and not feel like you are being crowded. The Lake kinda has its own tide as it lowers and raises at certain times so when it is lowered you are able to walk across to one of the islands. They have canoe and kyack rentals as well. Horseshoe pits and volleyball nets as well. You won't want to leave. I can't wait til 2017 summer season! I'll probably be there just look for the blonde with the bright green kyack! Lol
10. Hyde Log Cabin
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 11 reviews
This cabin/museum on Lake Champlain is one of the oldest houses in Vermont.
Reviewed By KayTee9 - New England - USA
The Hyde Log Cabin and the one room schoolhouse are shown together on the same site, although they are separate buildings. This is a small historical attraction, but really interesting nonetheless.The female docent is VERY knowledgeable and friendly. She told us that she made the period dress she was wearing, and gave us some great background on clothing of the period and how pockets were made and worn. The Hyde family actually lived in this log cabin until the 1940s. Wow. Well worth a stop if you are driving up Route 2 in the Lake Champlain Islands. There is a very modest $3.00 entry fee but children age 14 and under get in free. The funds are used for upkeep right on the site.
