When talking about things to do and
see on Lake Champlain, the first thing I have to mention is?
Yes,I am talking about CHAMP!!!
Most of the sightings have been down in this part of the lake,so when
your here,keep your eyes wide open and have your camera ready!!!You never know where/when he will show up.
I have never seen CHAMP, but I have been to this fantastic swimming
place called:
BRISTOL FALLS!!!!
Bristol Falls is approximately a 20 minute drive.Known
for being a fantastic place for swimming,sunbathing on the flat rocks as the water flows by you,bring a tube and float down
the little rapids,cliff diving(please be careful),playing in the sand,look for cool rocks in the large pool at the bottom
of the falls,and having picnics.If you are a confident swimmer,you can make right up to the falls and walk behind them,but
watch your step, it is very slippery.
| kids can play on the sandy shore |

Another must see if your in the area mid-March until early April, or early October thru November, are the snow
geese at the Dead Creek Refuge.These geese are in excess of 20,000 and blanket the fields like snow. Just a couple
of years ago, bald eagles were released and breeding right at that very spot.They fly over our property to get to the lake
and catch some fish, so next time you stay with us, keep your eyes to the skies! You never know what you will see.
Below you will find a list that ranges from museums & historic sites to teddy bears &
restaurants.Dont forget to get a Shaws Supermarket savings card before you head to the Teddy Bear Factory,you get buy 1 get
1 free!!!!

Even if this next adventure isnt local,it
is a great experience.I am recommending a 1 1/2 hour drive to Pottersville,NY (located by Gore Mtn.) to the Garnet Mines.They
provide you with all the essentials(pans,shovels,strainers) to help you find as many pieces of this beautiful red gem, you
wish to bring home.Along the way there is a place to rent tubes for a relaxing float down the Hudson River!!
This is a day trip that would never be forgotten!!!!
