Lake Champlain is
considered by some as the 6th great lake. Just over 490
square miles, it is the sixth largest body of fresh water in
the United State. Approximately 108 miles long, 12 miles
across at its widest point, and with a depth of
approximately 399 feet, the lake flows north from Whitehall,
New York and drains into the St. Lawrence River via the
Richelieu River in Quebec. Towns and cities on the shores of
Lake Champlain offer opportunities for swimming, boating,
fishing, scuba diving, and paddling. Vermont's largest city
on Lake Champlain is Burlington. With a thriving waterfront,
an aquarium and many choices for dining, and live
entertainment this is a great place to stay at a
bed
and breakfast inn. Travel a few miles north or south,
and you will find wide open pastures gently rolling to the
lakes edge with cottages, boat rentals and the peace and
quiet of Vermont’s natural heritage. |
