North Hero

The landscape around North Hero is defined by low, open islands in Lake Champlain, which have shaped both its dispersed settlement pattern and its agricultural economy. Set on North Hero Island in northwestern Vermont, the town belongs to the Lake Champlain Islands, a chain of communities linked by roads and ferries between Vermont and New York. Lake Champlain was an important transport route and contested frontier in the colonial and Revolutionary eras; the “Hero” name recalls Vermont’s Revolutionary War figures. Farms, shoreline homes and North Hero State Park reinforce the community’s rural, lakeside character.
