Tourism

Champlain Centre is only one of many unique attractions of the Plattsburgh area. Located on the crystal clear waters of Lake Champlain, Clinton County has become a beacon for tourists with all interests, especially the outdoors. Plattsburgh is just a short drive from the Canadian border and Montreal, and is also about 30 minutes away from Burlington, VT.
The economy of the Plattsburgh region is driven by various sources. In terms of higher education, SUNY Plattsburgh is one of the flagship institutions in the State of New York system. Also, heavy industry continues to thrive in the North Country, with industrial giants Bombardier and Pratt & Whitney employing thousands of workers. However, the dominant force behind this region's growth and success continues to be tourism.
Lake Champlain provides first-class opportunities for boating, fishing, and beach-going, and the nearby Adirondacks are replete with scenic areas for hiking and camping.
For those who prefer indoor activities, other popular attractions include the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, Howe Caverns, and the Akwesasne Mohawk Casino. Still others take advantage of the region's close proximity to Montreal and opt for a day trip to experience some of the world-famous culture that makes the city so renowned.
Whatever your passion, Champlain Centre and the surrounding Plattsburgh Region are sure to offer you an experience that you will never forget.
