Along the west, east and south portions of South Hero, there are many spots for tourists to park their car and hop in the water for a quick swim. If the tourists make it to southern most part of South Hero, on West Shore Road, they will find a public beach where they can relax on ground and enjoy the sun and water. Kayaking is a very popular activity on a calm day as is canoeing. Apple Island Resort Marina, off of Route 2, offers tourists the opportunity to rent and use canoes and kayaks on site. Providing you own a boat, water skiing, tubing and kneeboarding are common ways of entertainment when the lake is flat.
