The Sandbar Causeway area provides a mix of shallow and mid-depth fishing opportunities around the US-2 bridge.

This is a unique area because it serves as a natural migration corridor for fish moving between the Inland Sea of Lake Champlain and Malletts Bay. The small channel connecting the two areas of the lake is also a natural feeding location for fish, making it one of the top shoreline fishing locations in the greater Burlington area.

Take I-89 north to US-2, exit 17, Milton and Lake Champlain Islands. Bear right off the exit and head west on US-2 for approximately 6.5 miles. Travel along the causeway until you see a parking area on your left. Park there and then walk west until you reach the US-2 bridge.

The parking area on the causeway is in Chittenden County. The Chittenden-Grand Isle county line is at the US-2 bridge in the middle of the causeway.
