A genuinely cross-border lake, Memphremagog supports a full mix of warm-water fish for most of the year, plus a strong seasonal run near the Clyde River — and its own resident lake-monster legend.
Fish Species
Yellow perch, pumpkinseed sunfish, bullhead catfish, rock bass, largemouth and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, and northern pike are all active spring through fall. Landlocked salmon and steelhead rainbow trout run especially well near the mouth of the Clyde River during their spring and fall spawning migrations.
Birds & Wildlife
Memphremagog is one of the sites in the annual Vermont LoonWatch survey, which tracks the state's recovering common loon population each July. If Champ has you curious about what else might be swimming around up here, meet Memphre, the Lake Memphremagog Monster.
