Since most of the roads in South Hero are either dirt, or very quiet paved roads, biking is a very popular way to have fun and work out, and you don't have to worry about traffic or horrible drivers. The old Lake Champlain Causeway, where trains used to travel in and out across the lake, has now added a bike ferry for bikers, runners, walkers and anglers to get across the fill in the middle of the causeway. Coming from the South Hero end, you can now travel down the Colchester and from there on to Burlington, if you've got the energy.
Allen Point Access Area
Walk on a narrow causeway surrounded on both sides by Lake Champlain. The full path is 15 miles and goes as far as Burlington, but you can only go about one mile from South Hero by foot alone; there is a small gap that requires taking a ferry, which is available seasonally.
A very short drive from South Hero. Open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend it offers a big sandy beach along with a snack stand and volleyball courts. On-site lodging is also available for the weekend.
