Boating & Kayaking
The lake for
paddling or sailing.
The best views of Newport are actually in the middle of the lake. During the warmer months enjoy a paddle, sail or power boat on Lake Memphremagog. You’ll find docking and marinas, as well as multiple points to float on in.
Boaters from northern Vermont and Canada can find a number of amenities including restrooms, access to the bike path, a public launch and courtesy dock, benches, picnic shelter and other conveniences like retail gasoline, ice and lake maps. Services include boat washing station, pump-out station and zebra mussel registration. The harbor is also home to the US Customs Boarder Patrol Checkpoint, see below to learn more about arriving from Canada. Newport manages numerous seasonal and transient dock slips and three mooring fields at the City Dock.
Newport City Dock is located just steps from Downtown Newport, providing access to the lake from The Gateway Center and City Dock.
