Discover Lake Champlain’s historic past
A visit to the Lake Champlain Region wouldn't be complete without a stop at one or more of the famous historic sites that dot the landscape. Some of the most significant battles of the Revolutionary War took place along the lake at the Forts of Ticonderoga and Crown Point, of which both were regional strongholds. Artillery and war-era relics still reside in local museums and history comes to life with vibrant attention to detail and fun. Adirondack adventures are for everyone, so be sure to explore accessible attractions and activities.
Fun for the family
Year-round, there are incredible things to see here. Locations like Ausable Chasm are transformed by the change in scenery and changing leaves. Billions of years in the making, the chasm is a unique natural feature that has long been a favorite destination for families. No matter the season, the scenery is stunning!
Families with youngsters may want to consider the LaChute Riverwalk Trail. Steps from downtown Ticonderoga and all its amenities, this well maintained, easy trail winds along the energetic river that connects Lake George with Lake Champlain. The trail’s many interpretive panels provide a glimpse at community history. The trail ends at Bicentennial Park, the perfect place to view fall foliage.
