  1. Industrial #pollution once ravaged the #Adirondacks − decades of history captured in lake #mud track their slow recovery
    For decades, factories released this pollution without controls. By the 1960s and 1970s, their pollution was causing #acidrain that killed trees in forests across the eastern U.S., while airborne metals were accumulating in even the most remote lakes in the Adirondacks. theconversation.com/industrial

  2. The last few days have been a reminder that our beautiful #LakeChamplain is not insulated from the rest of the world. Wildfire smoke from Quebec has turned our skies orange and hazy and led to air quality alerts. At times, #Burlington hasn't even been able to clearly see the #Adirondacks across the lake. Hoping sprinkles of #rain last night and today help us out a bit.

    Not my photo for this week's #52LakeChamplain (credit MyNBC5 via NWS Burlington)..

  3. This week’s #52LakeChamplain view comes from the top of South Boquet mountain in Essex, #NY. #ChamplainValley farmlands, the blue waters of #LakeChamplain, and the distant peaks of #Vermont’s #GreenMountains. All as a reward for a lovely family #hike. #Adirondacks #NewYork

  4. Hoisington Brook in Westport, NY's Lee Park, just upstream of its mouth into Lake Champlain, where the stream cuts across a sandy beach. Hoisington Brook is at the north end of #LakeChamplain's South Basin sub-basin. Major early summer goal: exploring more of the south basin and finding more local gems like this park and stream. #52LakeChamplain #WaterfallWednesday #LakeChamplain #NewYork #Adirondacks #parks

  5. And that Mirror Lake ice is definitively out for the year! Screengrab below from the Ausable River Association camera livestream just now. ausableriver.org/watershed/lak

    We went from pretty complete ice cover on Tuesday to wet around the edges on Wednesday to patchy partial ice Thursday to no ice today. #Spring has come to the #Adirondacks and #LakeChamplainBasin.

  6. Todays #52LakeChamplain view is from on top of #Shelburne #Farms Lone Tree Hill (next to the sugar bush) looking down toward Quakers Smith Point and Lake Champlain, and the across to the #Adirondacks. #LakeChamplain #Vermont

  7. Today’s #52LakeChamplain view is from the top of Mt Philo, in Charlotte, #Vermont. We’re looking out over the Lewis Creek watershed, towards Town Farm Bay and the main part of #LakeChamplain, with the #Adirondacks in the distance. It was very windy today at the summit, but this is just clearly another special spot that we look forward to revisiting in all seasons.

  8. We enjoyed exploring #BurlingtonVT's Oakledge Park yesterday. An accessible treehouse, ruins, beach, and incredible panoramas of #LakeChamplain, the city, and #Adirondacks were a lot to enjoy in a short distance. Unfortunately, I took a spill on the #ice, and this is a #52LakeChamplain view I'll be feeling for a while. Here's the view looking towards Burlington, with some lovely pancake #ice on the #lake. #Vermont More photos to come in thread.
