A Photo History of the Islands
On July 3, 1609, French explorer Samuel de Champlain and his group canoed south from Canada into an expansive lake and found four islands. These are the islands now known as the Lake Champlain Islands.
Located in the far northwest corner of the state, the islands are well known as a shoreline retreat for all of New England, with their small-town feel and picturesque farmlands. The Lake Champlain Islands are a tranquil, yet vibrant area of Vermont.
