[edit] Route description

From the ferry dock on the east bank of Lake Champlain, VT F-5 curves to the east for a short time before turning to the north. After a half-mile, Ferry Road and VT F-5 turn for the final time, making an eastward turn onto a straightway that leads to US 7.

Despite the lack of curves on the 2.3 mile straightaway, the hilly terrain of the area makes navigating the road a challenge at times.
