The Lake Champlain Byway

welcome!

Following more than 230 miles of spectacular shoreline, the Lake Champlain Byways network connects for travelers the region's expansive blue waters, working lands, lush forests, and picturesque mountain peaks. The Byways 'Corridor' circles the lake, providing transportation routes that can bring you to the area's natural beauty and brilliant history via bicycle, boat, car, foot, or even horse or airplane.

Long ago the lake connected regional communities from Vermont to New York and Canada, but as travel changed so did this important link. The railroads of the 19th Century and highways of the 20th Century made water travel obsolete; the lake became a barrier that kept its communities apart. The Lake Champlain Byways Corridor brings these communities together again!
