Friends of Northern Lake Champlain’s Bike for the Lake in North Hero

Friends of Northern Lake Champlain’s Bike for the Lake in North Hero is a ride for clean water.

Every rainstorm carries our landscape toward the lake—soil, nutrients, and runoff moving across the land and into the water we all share. Bike for the Lake is how we can change that story.

Join hundreds of riders from across Vermont and beyond for this beloved event—now in its 16th year—and be part of a community working to protect Lake Champlain.

When you ride, fundraise, or cheer someone on, you’re supporting real, on-the-ground solutions—from shoreline restoration to stormwater improvements that reduce pollution at its source.
