Cruise on Lake Champlain

Also, for those of you who missed the cruise on July 13, we will be going to the Palisades on the Escape out of Basin Harbor again on August 10 from 3-5PM.

On the previous cruise we saw eagles and osprey chicks who may be learning to fly or already out of the nest in August.  Find out more on the events page of insidethemap.com.
