NORTH HERO STATE PARK DAY USE

The forest type in these floodplain areas is uncommon in Vermont, found only around Lake Champlain.
Whitetailed deer are common. A variety of migratory waterfowl – mallards, blacks, wood ducks, and more – nest in the wooded wetlands. Ruffed grouse and American woodcock find favorable conditions. Even fish – chain pickerel and northern pike – spawn and feed in the flooded areas. Map turtles, known to nest at only a few sites in Vermont, nest along the beach.
