Us 2 Alburgh boat launch
Us 2 Alburgh
The US 2 Alburgh boat ramp is a public access ramp located on the eastern shore of Lake Champlain, a large freshwater lake that stretches across the border between Vermont and New York. The ramp is managed by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department and provides access to the lake for a variety of watercraft, including motorized boats, sailboats, kayaks, and canoes.
According to the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department website, the US 2 Alburgh boat ramp features two launch lanes and a dock, and is able to accommodate boats of various sizes. The ramp has a width of 20 feet (6 meters) and a length of 50 feet (15 meters), and is accessible by vehicles with trailers.
It is important to note that regulations regarding watercraft on Lake Champlain may vary depending on the specific location on the lake and the time of year. It is recommended to consult with local authorities or check the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department website for the latest information on permitted watercraft and any boating restrictions.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Set push alerts in the Snoflo app

About Us 2 Alburgh
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
