Summit to Shore

Lake Champlain, abundant with magnificent natural beauty and a rich history, is fed with waters delivered by a large network of rivers and streams that collect rain and snowfall from the surrounding landscape. This expansive watershed is known as the Lake Champlain Basin.

Organizations in communities throughout the Basin—from headwaters far from the lake to the lake’s shoreline—are helping to protect and restore water quality and habitat. These organizations are invaluable sources of knowledge and information. They provide many opportunities for individuals to get involved as stewards of the natural and cultural heritage in their own backyard.

The Summit to Shore videos share stories of community stewardship of the Lake Champlain Basin. The collection is organized by major rivers within the Basin, and includes unique aerial and on-the-ground perspectives of these waterways.
