In American folklore, Champ or Champy[1] is the name of a lake monster said to live in Lake Champlain, a 125-mile (201 km)-long body of fresh water shared by New York and Vermont, with a portion extending into Quebec, Canada.[2] The legend of the monster is considered a draw for tourism in the Burlington, Vermont and Plattsburgh, New York areas.
