    Down the windy sleepy river.

    Full service no fuss no muss operation. Very helpful team. Gear is is good shape. Great trip down a winding river and across a biggish lake. Perfect for my wife and I kayaking w two early teen girls. Highly recommend.

    Always an awesome experience at Clyde River Recreation! The owners are very helpful and quickly get you out on the water. The 5.5 mile trip down the winding river and ending in a big pond is the perfect way to relax and take in the best that nature has to offer. We'll definitely be back next season!

    We were looking for kayak rental places and found these guys through online search. In short, everything was up to our satisfaction. To name a few highlights: - easy to find. GPS coordinates are accurate and you can totally rely on your favorite maps app. It is located in Northern Vermont, which is very scenic. - huge parking lot - credit cards are accepted - excellent customer service. You and all the equipment, which is of great quality, will be taken up stream to the starting point. Fast and easy unload, and off you go! - kayaks have convenient built-in storages to keep your belongings dry while you enjoy scenic ride - great for all skill levels Tips: Give them a call ahead of time and your kayaks along with shuttle bus will be waiting for you. Throw in mosquito spray. A small thing but you may find it quite rewarding.

    The owners are incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Kayaking the Clyde River was amazingly fun and it's a truly beautiful area. Definitely going back!

    An adorable little campground on beautiful Lake Willoughby. The campground is small, but has plenty…read moreof amenities. RV sites, tent sites and cabin rentals. Bike and kayak rentals, clean bathrooms and showers, and a general store with just about anything you could need. Including fresh breakfast and lunch items, and even a deli. Everyone here is helpful and personable. And the views can't be beat. Even on one particularly rainy day, it was gorgeous. A solid four stars. One note. Spaces are really tight and in some cases, impossibly close together. Some sites, I wonder how people even get their rigs in. But you're there for the lake and getting out into nature, so it's not horrible once you get parked.

    Wonderful campground!! The staff is extremely friendly and always there to help. I stayed for 3…read morenights, and even in the rain it was fun. The proximity to the lake and all of the different water sport options are awesome and readily available. There are also numerous stunning hiking trails within walking distance from the campsite. The positives of the trip: amazing staff, well-stocked store w/ good hot food options, clean bathrooms, right on the lake, water sports, hiking, scenery. The negatives: the sites are a tad close together, so you can hear others' conversations, Route 5A is very loud and cars fly by very quickly at all hours of the day, you have to pay for the showers (not uncommon, but somewhat annoying if you don't have quarters), and our campsite was pretty uneven, which was especially problematic in the rain. If you're going to stay here, I would recommend bringing lots of quarters, bug spray, and potentially renting one of the platform sites so you know you won't be sleeping at an angle. Overall, the experience there was great. My breakfast burrito on the last day was delicious and a bittersweet end to a great stay. Thank you, white caps!!

    Captain Scotty of Champlain Islands Magical Boat Tours took my dear high school friend and me on…read morethe most enchanting adventure imaginable. We were already having a marvelous time during my biennial visit from Toledo, Ohio, but Captain Scotty whisked my friend, me, and my vacation straight into the realm of magic and folklore. As we glided along the sparkling waters of Lake Champlain, Captain Scotty regaled us with the most wonderful stories. From history to geography, legends to delightful fun facts, every tale became even more captivating when delivered in his glorious, genuine Scottish accent. By the end of the tour, I started to wonder if he stepped straight from the pages of a storybook into the captain's seat of his boat! Captain Scotty's love for Lake Champlain is as vast as its waters, and his knowledge of its history, mysteries, and hidden treasures seems almost wizard-like in its depth. His affection for people is evident from the very moment he welcomes you aboard, making you feel less like a passenger and more like an old friend joining him on an adventure. But the real magic happens when he steers toward one of Champ's favorite hangouts. The twinkle in his eye rivals Santa's on Christmas Eve as he scans the water in search of the legendary Lake Champlain sea monster. Captain Scotty seems every bit as eager to introduce you to his old -- though unfortunately elusive -- friend as you are to catch a glimpse for yourself. And if Champ chooses to remain shy that day, no matter. You'll leave the boat convinced that the real magic of Lake Champlain was aboard with you all along. Thank you for a truly marvelous tour Captain Scotty!  Diane Reckley Toledo, OH
