Kill Kare State Park offers a well-maintained concrete boat ramp on Lake Champlain's east shore, making it an excellent access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats exploring the lake. Located on Hathaway Point in Georgia, the ramp is protected by a breakwater and serves as the primary mainland launch for accessing Burton Island State Park and the broader Lake Champlain recreation area. The park itself sits on a scenic 17-acre property surrounded by water on three sides, providing a pleasant setting for paddling on Vermont's largest lake.
The facility supports a range of water activities, with kayak, canoe, and rowboat rentals available on-site for those without their own equipment. A ferry dock at the access area connects to the Island Runner Ferry service for Burton Island. The nearby Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge offers excellent paddling opportunities for wildlife viewing and exploration of wetland habitats. A sandy swimming beach rounds out the recreational options for visitors.
