Lake Champlain is beautiful, never personally had my boat out there tho, was in VT for 4 years for school, that area was one of the parts of VT I like more.
I spend most of my "boat time" on Long Lake and/or Lake Sebago in Maine, 99% of the time I launch in Bridgton because it's close to home and both the 2 lakes are connected, so I can go to 5 different towns by being on the 2 lakes or between! (Sebago is HUGE!) It's also cool because there are a few stores w/ docks that you can pull up to gor gas/food/beer/ice and whatnot.
I have heard they are trying to close the locks between the 2 tho, because of milfoil. I really hope they don't, its a lot of fun to go across the river/locks going from one to the other.

Where did the Milfoil come from, do they know?

There is this river system up northern Maine that I LOVED to fly fish as a kid, always had loads of trout and salmon. Good luck now. Its all crappies and Pike. (Or half breeds, "Chubs" - Half salmon, half bass.) Some jackhole decided "I like to fish for pike more" so he transported some in, and they are wiping out the naturally occouring fish. It stinks. I caught a pike in one of the river outlets 10 miles from the lake the pike were released in. It was as long as my arm from pit to finger tips, I could fit my entire fist in it's mouth.
