& ALBANY, N. Y.-Lake Cham
plain, shared for 110 miles by
New York State and Vermont,
Is attracting an increasing num-
Der OF fishermen, boat owners
and other~vacationers.
Some Of Americas most STIR
ring history took place during
three Colonial wars in this area.
Today, fishing enthusiasts follow
a well-beaten path to it's shores
and small-boat navigators cruise
Champlain from New York to
Montreal through connecting
waterways.
The lake has So species of fish
with small-mouth and large
mouth bass, walleyes, Northern
pike and pickerel representing
the important game varieties.
Anglers insist you catch 'em all
over the lake" Incidentally, the
boundary between New York and
Vermont is an invisible line un-
der water and those who cross
1t to fish will need a Vermont
license.
II Miles Wide
From Whitehall to the Crown
Point Bridge, Champlain behaves
more like river. It's waters are
narrow and there is a perceptible
current. But above the bridge
the lake begins to broaden and
deepen until it attains in places
a depth Of 400 feet and width of
II miles. Westward are the mas
s1ve Adirondack peaks.
There is plenty of water within
Champlain's impressive dimen-
sions for extended cruises and a
number of good anchorages
along the New York shore. They
are at Whitehall, Port Henry,
Westport. Essex, Port Kent,
Plattsburgh and Rouses Point.
Pleasure craft make their way
to the lake from three compass
headings-south from Canada
through the Richelieu River,
north from the Hudson River
via the Champlain Canal to the
Whitehall locks and eastward
from the Great Lakes via the
Barge Canal.
A strategic location, the
Champlain Valley was destined
to play an important role
in American military history.
Whitehall, at the southern tip of
the lake, has been called the
birthplace of the American Navy.
Here Benedict Arnold hastily
constructed a fleet in 1776 in his
attempt to halt a British thrust
from Canada. Although Arnold's
fleet was shattered in the battle
OF Valcour Island, he neverthe-
less forced a years postpone
ment Of the British invasion.

dacks' scenic wonders, is two
miles east of Keeseville on

TINE FOUNTAIN of youth
Il may we'll be tucked away

Watching some of Wash

on a hot summer day could
give that impression. A hearty
lot, tanned to a healthy
bronze, these oldtimers feel a
round on the links keeps
them in shape.
Often, they'll stroke their
way over 2 miles or so OF
sand traps and rolling fair
ways fringed by woods, before
putting their clubs away for
the day.
Take Capt. Fletcher Smith,
for example. On a round of
18, he can still shoot his age

Cap'n Fletcher, as the club
house gang calls him, is con-
Sidered the dean of Wash

a century he's been playing
the game. He picked 1t up
during 80 years in Havana,
where he once served as an
Army captain in the Spanish
American War.

plenty of vim, he's Clipped
