Day Trips

Vermont Day Trips along Lake Champlain

Even though we’ve been here for more than 130 years, Basin Harbor is still a hidden gem for many people around Vermont and northern New York. However you plan to get here – by car, plane, boat, or bike – Basin Harbor offers special experiences that everyone is welcome to discover and enjoy.

So close, yet a world away.

Basin Harbor is an easy drive – just 45 minutes from Burlington and 30 minutes from Middlebury and Rutland. At the end of a winding country road, you’ll emerge to a lakeside oasis where you can relax, play, and eat a great meal in an amazing setting.

Welcome to Our Lakeside Paradise

Here’s a collection of everything available to our day trip visitors at Basin Harbor. Please note that other activities, options, and amenities are available only for our resort guests.
