Lake Champlain - Burlington, Vermont, USA

Trees and shoreline shrubs frame a broad expanse of Lake Champlain, with wooded hills forming a low horizon across the water. From Burlington’s eastern shore, the view takes in changing skies and open lake, while the foreground foliage brings the seasons close to the camera.

Between Vermont and New York, Lake Champlain stretches north into Québec, linking the landscapes of two countries. Burlington sits along its Vermont shore, where waterfront neighborhoods meet a freshwater environment shaped by the surrounding mountains, rivers and wetlands that drain into the lake.

Autumn turns the shoreline trees orange and gold before bare branches open up the winter view. Summer brings a leafy frame around the water, while wind can replace a smooth surface with ripples and waves. Low sunlight casts long shadows across the grass and changes the color of the distant shore.

Did You Know? Lake Champlain drains north into Canada through the Richelieu River, eventually reaching the St. Lawrence River and the Atlantic Ocean.
