Cross Lake Champlain aboard the historic ferry to Port Kent, New York, then sweep through the foothills of the Adirondacks on a private scenic drive. Two states, one unforgettable morning.
What to expect
Board the classic double-ended ferry at King Street Dock, just steps from the waterfront, and drift across one of North America's most beautiful lakes. On the New York shore, a private car whisks you into the Adirondack foothills — covered bridges, dairy farms, and forested ridgelines that most visitors never reach. Return crossing delivers a final panoramic sweep of the Burlington skyline and Green Mountains. Photographers will exhaust their memory cards.
Good to know
Ferries run frequently in summer; crossing takes approximately 60 minutes each way. Coordinate return timing carefully against your all-aboard — allow a minimum of 30 minutes buffer. Pre-arrange private car hire on the NY side in advance. Deck space is limited on busy summer days; arrive early.
