Knight Island State Park, Remote state park on Lake Champlain, Vermont, United States.
Knight Island State Park is a 115-acre natural area situated on Lake Champlain in northern Vermont. The island features a mix of forest and wetland habitats along a rocky shoreline that frames the water's edge.
The island was originally used for agriculture before transitioning to a primitive camping area in the 1980s. It received official state park designation in 1990.
The park maintains seven designated camping sites around its perimeter, preserving the natural character of Lake Champlain's island environment.
Visiting requires a personal watercraft or water taxi service, as the rocky shoreline has no docks for boat landings. Plan your arrival and departure carefully based on water conditions and your transportation method.
A circular trail system connects seven primitive lean-to shelters positioned at equal intervals around the island's edge. This balanced layout means each campsite is the same distance from its neighbors, creating a distinctive camping experience.
