Welcome

Nestled between New York's Adirondack Mountains and the Green Mountains of Vermont, Lake Champlain spans 121 miles, and offers a host of activities and events for your next summer vacation.

Explore the region on land at one of the region's historic waterfront communities or take to the water for Lake Champlain fishing, paddling and boating. There's so much you can do in the summer in the Lake Champlain region, you'll want to come back again and again to see it all. With a staggering 600 miles of picturesque coastline surrounded by such scenic beauty and historic Americana, you'll find outdoor adventure and cultural opportunities around every corner.

The region's 400-year history has spawned historical re-enactments and events that are especially popular for families. Fort Ticonderoga and Crown Point, as well as other landmarks from the era preceding the 19th century give you the opportunity to step back in time to the French and Indian War and the American Revolution.

Enjoy a walking tour around beautiful Essex, NY or the 17 historic bridges of the Ausable River. Or, go biking along the Lake Champlain bikeways for spectacular 360-degree views along the rolling countryside.

Besides historical landmarks, there are natural attractions in the region that are best viewed in the summer months. The Ausable Chasm, with its cascading waterfalls and scenic overlooks, is a popular destination for tubing and rafting.

But that's just one of the many Lake Champlain outdoor activities to enjoy. Go golfing, stop by a local art gallery, bird watch along the Lake Champlain birding trail – the largest birding trail in North America – or simply stay in and enjoy a romantic summer getaway. Whatever your stay entails, you'll want to be sure to bring a camera along to capture the dramatic views that make the area special.
