Lake Champlain, Vt.

Paddle across Lake Champlain from the farmland of Vermont to a secluded beach near Split Rock Point, in New York’s Adirondack Park. ‘‘The rocks are round and egg-shaped and you feel a million miles from anywhere,’’ said Dovid Yagoda, of True North Kayak Tours. Cross in good conditions, as winds can stir waves with a threatening north fetch. But the destination is enough to make an expert think twice before talking. ‘‘I’m giving away a nice spot,’’ Yagoda said.
