About Lake Champlain
Lake Champlain is the sixth-largest freshwater lake in the United States by area, running north from Whitehall, New York, to the Quebec border with Vermont on the east shore and the Adirondack foothills on the west. It is 400 feet deep off Split Rock and holds islands large enough to have their own towns — Grand Isle, North Hero, Isle La Motte.
Samuel de Champlain saw it in 1609, Benedict Arnold fought a fleet action on it at Valcour Island in 1776, and Thomas Macdonough's victory at Plattsburgh Bay in 1814 ended the British campaign from Canada. Burlington's waterfront, Shelburne's farms and the ferries to Essex and Port Kent are the modern lake.
