Lore

Champ is Lake Champlain's legendary serpent, sighted since Samuel de Champlain's 1609 journal entry and rooted in Abenaki tales of giant water creatures. Described with multiple humps and a horse-like head, it remains a gentle lake monster icon shared by Vermont, New York, and Quebec, with ongoing sightings and photos.
