You can feel the seasons changing on Lake Champlain. πŸŒ…πŸ‚

The evenings are getting cooler, the breeze carries that first hint of fall, and summer is slowly slipping away.

Grab a warm drink from our onboard cafΓ©, step outside, and take in the crisp lake air as the sun sets behind the mountains. β˜•οΈβœ¨

It’s that beautiful in-between season β€” golden sunsets, cozy layers, cooler evenings, and the first signs of fall in Vermont.

Come experience the changing season from the water aboard the Spirit of Ethan Allen III.

Summer is slipping away… πŸ‚
