Plattsburgh, NY – It is the Quadricentennial - the 400th anniversary - of the discovery of Lake Champlain by French explorer Samuel de Champlain. We know much about the lake and it's history, but what about the first European who came across the more-than-100-mile long lake? North Country Bureau Chief Pat Bradley takes a look at Champlain-the-explorer and the importance of the lake that Native Americans exposed him to 400 years ago.
