This is a map of historic sites in the Champlain Valley, which is situated along a natural water highway consisting of the Richelieu River, Lake Champlain, Lake George, and the Hudson River.  This water highway was often referred to as the Great Warpath, as many tribes and nations used this water route for trade and battle.  There are many locations along Lake Champlain that continue to tell the story of the struggle of nations and tribes in the battle for a continent.  There are no other bodies of fresh water in North America that have a more storied history than Lake Champlain and Lake George.

Simply click on the pins for more information regarding these historical sites.

​

One note on a potential point of confusion.  When I refer to a group moving "up" Lake Champlain, it actually means going south, as Lake Champlain flows to the north and empties into the Richelieu River.
