About This Access Site
Vantines is a public boat launch located on the western shore of Lake Champlain in Grand Isle, accessible via West Shore Road. The site features a concrete boat ramp suitable for medium-sized watercraft, making it a practical put-in for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. A gravel parking area is available for vehicle and trailer parking.

As a Lake Champlain access point, Vantines provides entry to Vermont's largest lake, a 120-mile-long freshwater body known for recreational paddling, fishing, and boating. The western shore location offers convenient access for exploring the lake's calm bays and shorelines. Given the medium-ramp designation, the site works best for standard recreational boats and kayaks rather than large commercial or high-performance vessels. Plan ahead for parking availability during peak season weekends, and come prepared with appropriate safety gear for open-water paddling.
