Goosepoint Campground

Goosepoint Campground offers a convenient public boat ramp for accessing Lake Champlain in the Champlain Islands area. The ramp provides a quick launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats, with dock space available and a short walk to the water. The campground itself operates seasonally (late May–September), but notably, **the boat ramp remains open year-round during non-peak season (November–March)** with a vault toilet available. This makes it a reliable winter access option for cold-weather paddling.

The facility is located directly across the road from Lake Champlain and offers panoramic views of the lake and surrounding Green Mountains and Adirondacks. While primarily a campground with limited transient camping availability, day-use boat access is straightforward. Paddlers launching here can explore the broader waters of Lake Champlain or venture into nearby paddling destinations like the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, a 6,729-acre wetland habitat excellent for wildlife viewing. Plan ahead during peak season (May–September) when the campground is fully operational.
