Part of the Colchester Causeway is currently closed as a result of storm damage. Walkers and bikers will still enjoy the distant mountain views over Lake Champlain as about three quarters of a mile of the southernmost stretch of the Causeway (from Colchester) remains open to the Law Island Bridge. Maps are available at the Trailside Center.
Local Motion has indefinitely postponed the Island Line Ferry Service for the 2018 season.
