"'Lake Champlain is everything most American lakes are not. It is a
vast and magnificent inland sea; 121 miles long, 12 miles across at its
broadest point, blessed with deep, clean water, and cradled between two
magnificent mountain ranges -- Vermont's Green Mountains and New York's
Adirondacks. A hundred feet above sea level and surrounded by mountains
rising to 5,000 feet, its setting is a dramatic as any in Europe or the
American West. This puts it in a league with Lake Tahoe or Lake Geneva,
except that it is larger, its scenery more varied, and its shoreline far
more unspoiled -- in many places an uninterrupted blur of cedar, pine and
meadow.'
"The famed Underground Railroad that operated during the Civil War

We probably weren't the birthplace of baseball. But we are the Home of
Baseball. And we are the birthplace of the Susquehanna, a wonderful river
that winds through New York and Pennsylvania, reaching the sea via
Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. We're not a museum or a baseball theme park. But
we are the home of Glimmerglass Opera, a nationally renowned company with an

unspoiled: it is the land 19th-century painters Thomas Cole, Charles Herbert
Moore and Frederick Church loved.
The river cities ... Catskill, Hudson, Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Beacon,
Newburgh, Ossining, Peekskill...(to name a few), touch the Hudson with
street and parkland. In summer, sailboats clog the marinas. In winter,
iceboats flash along the river ice.
The cities swell with the story of America. In Newburgh is Gen. George
Washington's headquarters. In Poughkeepsie the clinching vote for the

weaves his melodic tales. "
