Some other areas not already discussed:
Pillsbury State Park in New Hampshire. A couple of remote sites across the small pond.
Main kayak locations in the Vermont State Park system are: Green River Reservoir in Hyde Park. Only remote water accessible sites. Human or electric powered boats only. Burton, Woods, and Knights Island in North Lake Champlain. Burton is only a hundred yards from the shore. Burton has mix of people that have paddled, taken the people ferry across or used their boat to reach the island and docked it at the marina. Woods and Knights are primitive sites that are well separated but have long exposed crossing on the lake. Woods is more remote. Knights sites can have lentos. Both have perimeter hiking paths around the island. Little River State Park in Waterbury also has water only access remote camping.
Laws Island , Lake Champlain in Colchester, VT. Primitive site. Vermont Sports had an article on fat biking to the island this winter over the ice and winter camping.
Valcor Island, Lake Champlain south of Plattsburg, NY. Primitive sites that are free and non-reservable. Crossing from boat launch is somewhat sheltered. Sites along eastern shore are exposed to the main Lake. Most sites have sandy beaches. Mix of paddlers and boaters.
