Thanks, CI... Some great history to the huge lake and all the assortment of fish. One of the greatest trips I remember taking quite a number of times back in the 80's was when I was stationed in Boston, MA during my USCG days and my folks still lived up in the Adirondack Mtns of New York. When you look at a map, it would seem kind of silly to take I-90 west to Albany and then I-87 north. Why not cut diagonally through NH and VT and come down into the Adirondacks that way? Made perfect sense...
Ha ha ha... I wonder if (back then) we passed by your house?
Leave suburbs of Boston, MA (US Coast Guard military housing units).
I-93 north into NH.
I-93 to I-89 in Concord, NH.
I-89 straight into VT.
Somewhere north of Burlington, take the exit for Route 2.
Route 2 over the bridge(s) over Lake Champlain to South Hero Island.
Route 2 veers north over more bridges to North Hero Island.
Route 2 continues north and goes over the last and final bridge, turning into Route 11 in Rouses Point, New York.
Take Route 11 westward to Malone, NY and either take Route 30 south or 11B south to final destination (my parents house).
Getting back on topic, I loved crossing over Lake Champlain back then. Everywhere you looked was a fishing boat in someone's yard, and marinas and more marinas all over the place. Beautiful area!
