St. Albans Bay Park is the easiest way to put Lake Champlain into a St. Albans visit. The park has lawns, swimming access, picnic space, and broad views across the bay.
Its stone bathhouse was built in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, a reminder that the bay was once a busy summer waterfront with resorts, ferries, shops, and crowds. Today it is simpler, which is part of the appeal.
