Woods Island State Park facts for kids

Woods Island State Park is a special state park located on Lake Champlain in Vermont. This park is unique because it's on its own island, called Woods Island! The island is 125 acres big and is found off St. Albans Point in Franklin County, Vermont.

The park is looked after by the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation. It's part of the larger Vermont State Park system, which helps protect natural places for everyone to enjoy.

Getting to Woods Island

Getting to Woods Island State Park is an adventure! Since it's an island, you can only reach it by boat. There isn't a dock, so visitors need to plan how they will get to the island and land their boat safely. This makes the park feel very wild and untouched.

Camping on the Island

Woods Island State Park is a great place for a rustic camping trip.

• The park has five primitive campsites. This means they are very basic, with simple facilities.
• There is no running water on the island, so campers need to bring all their own drinking water.
• Sanitary facilities are minimal, so it's important to be prepared for a true outdoor experience.
• If you want to camp here, you need to make a reservation ahead of time. This helps keep the island protected and not too crowded.

Camping on Woods Island is a fantastic way to experience nature, enjoy the quiet of the lake, and see the stars without city lights!
