Texaco Beach
Lake Champlain's tucked-away dog-friendly swim spot
About this park
Texaco Beach is a small dog-friendly stretch of Lake Champlain shoreline with shallow, wadeable water and sunset views across the lake. It sits right off the Island Line bike trail, with a footpath down from North Street that keeps the crowds thin. Reviewers love it as a cool-off spot on summer mornings and as a quiet, scenic perch in the off-season.
