Tucked in the Champlain Valley between the Adirondack Mountains of New York and the Green Mountains of Vermont, Lake Champlain is a natural, fresh-water glacial lake. It runs approximately 110 miles from Montreal, Canada to its southern tip in Whitehall, NY. Lake Champlain has long provided beauty, recreation, and commerce to the residents of the Adirondack region.

Lake Champlain has three scenic ferry crossings as well as the historic Crown Point Bridge and Lighthouse. It takes its place in history from the Revolutionary War era where Fort Ticonderoga perches on its southern tip. Enjoy the sights up close and personal on the Lake Champlain Bikeway’s 350-mile loop around the lake, with adjacent trails totaling 1,100 miles. Take part in the largest freshwater fishing derby in America!

Scenic villages like Essex, Elizabethtown, and Plattsburgh provide phenomenal fishing and water sports of all kinds. Visit Westport and browse its quaint village and historic B&B’s. Discover Port Henry, home to “Champy”, the elusive and entertaining “Loch Ness Monster” of Lake Champlain.
