South Hero pairs wide-lake horizons with an easygoing pace, all within commuting reach of Burlington and the amenities of Colchester. Set amid the Lake Champlain Islands in Grand Isle County, the town offers scenic backroads for cycling, quiet coves for paddling, and spectacular sunsets from local favorites like White’s Beach. On warm days, riders connect to the Island Line Trail via the seasonal bike ferry, then roll straight into waterfront parks and city neighborhoods.
Weekends here revolve around local flavor. Sip estate-grown wines at Snow Farm Vineyard’s summer concerts and harvest celebrations at Snow Farm Vineyard & Winery, or go apple picking at Allenholm Farm, one of the state’s oldest orchards. The town’s recreation programs, public facilities, and beach updates are easy to find through the Town of South Hero, and nearby farmstands and the islands’ markets keep kitchens stocked with seasonal produce.
Families appreciate the strong K–8 foundation at Folsom Education and Community Center, with small classes, arts and STEM offerings, and community events. For high school, students have tuitioned choice to regional schools in communities such as Burlington and Colchester, giving teens academic and extracurricular options without sacrificing island living.
