The level of Lake Champlain was quite low, due to drought. Rocks and debris were exposed, forcing boaters to be cautious or risk damaging their propellers. Docking has also become more challenging. The public was urged to be careful due to the low water levels. WPTZ NBC5 Burlington (Vt.), Aug 27, 2025
