As Lake Champlain's natural beauty and extensive recreational offerings continue to define its character, its rich cultural and historic resources are a testimony to our heritage and remain for visitors and residents to explore. For communities and bicyclists, you can show your support for Lake Champlain Bikeways to help expand opportunities for bicycling in the Champlain Valley.
