Champ's house
Could New England's answer to Scotland's Loch Ness be in Vermont? Rumor has it that Lake Champlain plays host to its own monster, Champ, who is a bit of a local celebrity. Even the local minor league baseball team - the Vermont Lake Monsters - pays homage to this tall tale. So pack a picnic and sit by the lake's edge. Luckily, nearby Burlington has plenty to keep you busy once you tire of waiting for Champ to make an appearance.
