120 miles long + 600 miles of shoreline + 70 islands = One amazing lake.

Lake Champlain is a world-class fishing destination. Many national tournaments and fishing derbies are held on the lake each year. Of the lake’s 81 fish species, about twenty are sought by anglers, including large and smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, brown bullhead, yellow perch, and trout.

Ausable Chasm is the USA’s oldest natural attraction, toured by over 10 million visitors since its founding in 1870. Visitors are amazed as they travel through the uniquely-crafted and vertical walled canyon, set apart by gorgeous waterfalls and foliage. Explore the stunning depths of the Chasm on natural stone walkways and marvel at geologic history etched in stone.

Open year-round, Ausable Chasm welcomes visitors of all ages to explore the area’s natural beauty. The Chasm offers many tours for all interests and abilities, including walking, rafting, tubing, rappelling and so much more!
