Kings Bay is a public boat ramp access area maintained by the Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife on Lake Champlain's northeastern shore in North Hero. The concrete ramp provides launching access to one of New England's largest freshwater lakes, making it suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats of various sizes. This location is a convenient starting point for exploring the northern reaches of Lake Champlain and accessing nearby paddling routes.
The site sits within proximity to the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, a 6,729-acre wetland habitat established in 1943 that offers scenic paddling opportunities and excellent wildlife viewing for migratory birds. Paddlers should note that water conditions and seasonal access can vary; the site may experience closures for maintenance. Before visiting, check with the Vermont Department of Fish & Wildlife for current conditions, fees, and any seasonal restrictions that may apply to your visit.
