Tabor Point

Tabor Point offers a convenient medium-sized boat ramp for paddlers and boaters accessing Lake Champlain near Swanton, Vermont. Located on Hog Island Road, this ramp is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and moderately-sized motorboats looking to explore the northern reaches of the lake. The site provides good access to one of the Northeast's largest freshwater lakes, known for diverse recreational opportunities including paddling, fishing, and sailing.

The nearby Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge (6,729 acres of mostly wetland habitat) makes this an excellent access point for kayakers and canoeists interested in wildlife viewing and nature exploration. This area is particularly appealing for paddlers seeking quieter water near marshlands and bird habitats. Before launching, check current conditions on Lake Champlain, as this large water body can experience significant wind and wave activity, especially in open areas away from the shoreline.
