Situated on the northeastern shores of Lake Champlain, historic Isle La Motte affords residents sweeping views of Lake Champlain and Mt. Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak. French Explorer Samuel de Champlain first landed here in 1609 during his early exploration of Lake Champlain (which was later named for him). Not to be missed is Chazy Reef, a 450-million-year-old reef that claims the distinction of being the world's oldest fossil reef. Spend a day canoeing on the lake or cycling Isle La Motte's quiet roads. Montreal, Canada, is only an hour away! This island paradise makes the perfect place for a second home or vacation home in Vermont.
