Description
Along with Burton Island and Woods Island state parks, Knight Island, acquired by the State in 1990, is one of three neighboring island parks in Lake Champlain's "inland sea''. This 185-acre island is a mile long and nearly a half mile wide. The park includes all but 10+ acres of private land on the island's southern tip. When on Knight Island, please respect the rights of the park neighbor and keep off the southern end. There is no ferry service to the island and it can only be accessed by boat.
Geography:
The island was farmed historically then was uninhabited for many years. It was a privately operated primitive campground through the 1980s. The owner lived year-round on the island and began a timber management program to supplement the camping operation. Under state ownership, remote area camping has been continued on seven sites dotted around the island. Land management activities are those which will keep the island unique and unspoiled.
Recreation:
Excellent remote camping, swimming, boating, fishing and hiking.
Facilities:
The park offers remote camping with 6 rustic lean-tos, and composting outhouses.
Attention:
This is a remote camping park that can only be accessed by private boat. Be prepared for a backcountry experience and to pack everything in and out.
Reservations made more than 7 days in advance require a two-night minimum. One-night stays are allowed within 7 days of arrival, any day of the week. Exceptions apply.
