Lakes Champlain and George.
Frederic G. Mather has a most entertaining article in Outing for August entitled "Summer Days Along Champlain." He says Champlain "is the Loch Lomond as Lake George is the Loch Katrine, of eastern North America." At the close he draws this comparison between the two sheets of water: "It is not a place of resort in the usual acceptance of the term, but for all that Champlain is the coming lake. Paul Smith, of Adirondack fame, declares it will soon be a greater favorite than the mountains, that he knows so well. Lake George is a gem, but Lake Champlain is grand and noble. You can row and paddle on Lake George, but the fitful winds prevent your sailing. On Champlain the breezes blow with the regularity of trade-winds. You can sail and row and paddle--and, what is more, you can mind your own business without interfering with the business or the pleasure of any one else."
