There are many places along the coast line of Lake Champlain by South Hero where you can cast out and reel in the big one. Just make sure you have your fishing license or you might be paying fines. Lake Champlain and other ponds and bays within South Hero are stocked with numerous types of fish such as large and smallmouth bass, brook trout, rainbow trout, lake trout, walleye, pike and perch. Not too far off from the shorelines of South Hero are the Winooski and Lamoille River inlets, which then continue to stream throughout the mainland.
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.
