Lake Champlain Properties For Sale in Vermont

Lake Champlain was named after the French explorer Samuel de Champlain who encountered it in 1609. Since that time it has been used to stave off the British, become a major source of transportation and commerce and most recently a recreation mecca for all to enjoy.

It truly is a natural beauty that travels approximately 110 miles in length and approximately 12 miles wide at its furthest point. During the summer months it provides an opportunity for boaters, fisherman, swimmers and sailors to take advantage of its depth and natural beauty. In the winter time, it provides the most rugged individuals the chance to ice fish, cross country ski or snowmobile in certain areas.

All in all, it is one of the most beautiful lakes you will experience if you take the time and schedule it in for one of your things to do. Enjoy the waterfront in Burlington's harbor with the boathouse and restaurant or take a walk along the bikepath that runs adjacent to the lake north and south. Often times, you don't need to do anything, because just being near the lake  is what makes it worth your while.
