Welcome
Welcome to the Lake Champlain region’s only bi-state citizens’ organization solely dedicated to protecting the health of the lake and accessibility to its waters.
The Lake Champlain Committee (LCC) has a 46-year history of science-based advocacy, education and collaborative action. We take a whole-lake approach to issues that affect this natural treasure, which boasts nearly 600 miles of shoreline in New York, Vermont and Quebec.
No matter how you choose to enjoy Lake Champlain, we invite you to explore this Web site to learn more about the lake's health, current ecologic challenges, and ways to access its resources, including the Lake Champlain Paddlers' Trail. As you explore, we hope you'll consider how you can personally make a positive impact on the quality of its water and ecosystem.
Happy New Year!
From the “Drowned Lands” marsh in the south lake to Highgate Cliffs in the north, we pause to thank you for your support and all you do personally to care for this beautiful place. Here's to a cleaner Lake Champlain with your help in 2009!
Sincerely,
Lori Fisher, Executive Director
