Sand Bar State Park is located in northwestern Vermont on U.S. Route 2,
approximately 14 miles north of Burlington and near the east approach to
Sand Bar Bridge which leads to South Hero Island in Lake Champlain (see
map, Fig. 1). Tenting, picnicking and swimming are the Parks main
attractions (Fig. 12a). The swimming beach is on the north side of U.S.
Route 2 and fronts on Lake Champlain. Its shallowness makes the beach
safe for children (Fig. 13). The tenting facilities are located on the
south side of U.S. Route 2 on a south-facing shoreline.
