The following map shows the Bike/Car route, but when we get to Hero Island we will be modifying the bike route to take the Island Line Trail and Burlington Greenway

ISLAND LINE TRAIL
The Island Line Trail is an experience unlike any other. With distant views of the Adirondacks to the west and Green Mountains to the east, the 3 mile packed gravel recreational path leads from Burlington to the middle of Lake Champlain. From South Hero Island we'll hop the Local Motion's Island Line Bike Ferry to continue to Burlington.
The Island Line Trail ranks as one of the most scenic vistas in the world and is some of the easiest riding and walking terrain in all of Vermont. Superb biking, walking, gorgeous views, trails, farms and good food await you along the Island Line Trail. The specially equipped bike ferry, the Bill and Carole Hauke 2, carries bicyclists comfortably across the 200 foot "cut." and over to the trail that runs to Airport Park in Colchester, VT (4 miles south of the Ferry) and then to the waterfront in Burlington, VT (10 miles south of the Ferry)
We begin at South Hero Village, VT (about 5 miles north of the Ferry). Here are the Ferry Rates & Schedule .Although the Island Line Bike Ferry rarely closes, we need to check the weather before heading out!
