Description
Lake Champlain (French: lac Champlain) is a natural, freshwater lake in North America, located mainly within the borders of the United States (states of Vermont and New York) but partially situated across the Canada-United States border in the Canadian province of Quebec.
The New York portion of the Champlain Valley includes the eastern portions of Clinton County and Essex County. Most of this area is part of the Adirondack Park. There are recreational opportunities in the park and along the relatively undeveloped coastline of Lake Champlain.
The cities of Plattsburgh and Burlington are to the north and the village of Ticonderoga in the southern part of the region. The Quebec portion is located in the regional county municipalities of Le Haut-Richelieu and Brome-Missisquoi.
The lake was named for the French explorer Samuel de Champlain, who encountered it in 1609. While the ports of Burlington, Vermont; Port Henry, New York; and Plattsburgh, New York are little used nowadays except by small craft, ferries and lake cruise ships, they had substantial commercial and military importance in the 18th and 19th centuries.
There is conflicting information on Native American names for the lake. Many historical works give Caniaderi Guarunte as the Iroquois name for the lake (meaning: mouth or door of the country), because the waterway was an important northern gateway to their lands.
A number of other sources give Petonbowk (meaning the lake in between) as the Algonquian Abenaki name for the lake. The St. Francis/Sokoki Abenaki Band, who make their home along the Masipskiwibi (Missisquoi, "Crooked River") River in northwestern Vermont call the lake Bitawbagok, the same meaning as Petonbowk.
Some recent articles appeared during the Champlain Quadricentennial (2009) claiming Ondakina as the “local” native name for the lake, but none cites a verifiable source.

Lac Champlain est un lac naturel d'eau douce en Amérique du Nord, principalement situées dans les frontières des États-Unis (États du Vermont et de New York), mais partiellement situé en face de la frontière canado-américaine dans la province canadienne de l'Québec. La partie de New York de la vallée du lac Champlain comprend les parties orientales de Clinton County et le comté d'Essex. La plupart de cette zone fait partie du parc des Adirondacks. Il existe des possibilités récréatives dans le parc et le long de la côte relativement peu développé du lac Champlain. Les villes de Plattsburgh et Burlington sont au nord et le village de Ticonderoga, dans la partie sud de la région. La portion québécoise est situé dans les municipalités régionales de comté Le Haut-Richelieu et de Brome-Missisquoi. Le lac a été nommé pour l'explorateur français Samuel de Champlain, qui l'a rencontré en 1609. Alors que les ports de Burlington, au Vermont, Port Henry, New York, et à Plattsburgh, New York ne sont guère utilisés de nos jours, sauf par de petites embarcations, des ferries et bateaux de croisière sur le lac, ils ont eu une importance commerciale considérable et militaires dans les 18e et 19e siècles. Il ya des informations contradictoires sur les noms autochtones américains pour le lac. De nombreux ouvrages historiques donner Caniaderi Guarunte que le nom des Iroquois du lac (sens: la bouche ou de la porte du pays), parce que le cours d'eau était un important carrefour du nord sur leurs terres. Un certain nombre d'autres sources donnent Petonbowk (ce qui signifie le lac entre les deux) que le nom algonquin Abénaquis pour le lac. Le Saint-François / Sokoki bande des Abénaquis, qui ont élu domicile le long de la Masipskiwibi (Missisquoi, "Crooked River") River au nord-ouest du Vermont appeler le Bitawbagok lac, la même signification que Petonbowk. Certains articles récents est apparu au cours de la quadricentenaire Champlain (2009) affirmant que Ondakina le "local" nom indigène pour le lac, mais aucun cite une source vérifiable.

As an original crew member ("plankowner") for CG-57 the U.S.S. Lake Champlain I am very familiar with the lake and its surroundings even though I have yet to pay the area a visit in person. This was also the site for some famous naval battles both during the American Revolution and the war of 1812. Just one thing missing, that being the lake's most famous legendary denizen "Champy" as the locals call it. There are many tales of a "monster" living in the depths of the lake very similar to the infamous Loch Ness Monster. Very nice render Magik!
