Overview
Description
Welcome to one of Lake Champlain's prettiest publicly-owned islands. Woods Island is a nature lover's delight. A trail system connects five remote campsites dispersed around the island's perimeter, and leads you through beautiful and diverse groves of old-growth trees, around wetlands, and past old farm fields and pastures, with shimmering lake views all around. You'll hear and see abundant and varied bird life, and find some of the most unique plants in Vermont. Woods Island is only accessible by boat, and is never crowded.
Geography:
Measuring one mile long and a quarter-mile wide, 125-acre Woods Island provides a unique habitat for a rich variety of plant life, including many species that are rare or threatened in Vermont. A portion of the island was once farmed; traces of drainage ditches remain today. Still visible also is the farm house foundation and weathered remains of old farm machinery. A later attempt by a private developer saw the beginnings of an airstrip constructed down the center of the island; the earth berms you climb over on the cross-island trail are the runway edges.
Recreation:
Excellent camping, swimming, boating, fishing, hiking and wildlife observation.
Facilities:
There are 5 remote campsites with nearby composting outhouses. Campfires are permitted only in designated fireplaces at the campsite.
Nearby Attractions:
Burton Island and Knight Island
