John Guilmette

Located on Featherbed Lane in South Hero, the John Guilmette Access Area provides a well-developed public boat launch on Lake Champlain. The site features a concrete boat ramp suitable for larger vessels, along with a modern dock structure and renovated parking area. This access point is maintained by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department and offers a convenient entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats looking to explore the central Lake Champlain region near the islands.

The facility accommodates medium to large boat sizes and is ideal for paddlers seeking access to the broader waters of Lake Champlain. Whether you're planning a day paddle or launching a larger recreational boat, the improved infrastructure makes this a reliable public access option. As with most Vermont public access areas, paddlers should check current conditions and any posted regulations before visiting.
