RECREATION

Fishing, Swimming & Paddling

 

With over 50 lakes, ponds and brooks in the Burke Area, you won't run out of good fishing holes around here. One of the most popular lakes to fish is Lake Willoughby. This glacial carved lake goes to depths of over 300 feet and stays crisp and clean year round. Anglers have been know to reel in some of the biggest fresh water fish caught in the US! Popular for ice fishing, but watch your step as there are only certain parts of the lake that are safe in the winter.

 

In the summer, Vermont offers a FREE fishing day in June. This free day is perfect if you just want to try fishing for the day and not have to buy a fishing license. Check with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department for the exact date and more information on fishing in Vermont.

  

Kayaking

Vermont's scenery is the picture perfect backdrop for you kayak or canoe adventure. The Northeast Kingdom is famous for beautiful glacial lakes and pristine waterways. Clyde River Recreation offers canoe and kayak rentals as well as all-inclusive paddle trips. You'll find them in West Charleston along the lazy Clyde River. They also offer drop-off service to surrounding camps, ponds, lakes and rivers. “LET”S GO KAYAKING”
