Begin the journey from the Basin Harbor resort, operating as an inn since 1886, and tucked away on the eastern coast of Lake Champlain in the small city of Vergennes, VT. Ride parallel along the eastern contour of the lake past the Maritime Museum, Button Bay and through the rolling hills of Vergennes, Panton, and Addison. Stop at the West Addison Country store (WAGS) for a snack and continue heading south to the bridge that connects Vermont’s Chimney Point to New York’s Crown Point. In New York, find an empty bench at the Crown Point Fort and take in the peacefulness of the lake.
