Chimney Point is a Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife access area located in Addison on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain. The site features a concrete boat ramp suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and other recreational watercraft. A pier (salvaged from the historic 1929 Lake Champlain Bridge) provides additional access near the water's edge, making it convenient for paddlers.
Beyond boat access, Chimney Point offers a short interpretive walking trail with historical signage about the site and the iconic Lake Champlain Bridge. This makes it a good choice for paddlers who want to combine water recreation with some on-shore exploration. As a maintained public access area, it provides a reliable launch point for exploring Lake Champlain's recreational opportunities, including paddling, fishing, and wildlife viewing.
