NO OTHER LAKE (2022, 39 min.)

Motivated by a desire to better understand his home watershed, Jordan Rowell embarks on a two week kayaking trip along the 120-mile length of Lake Champlain, stopping along the way to talk to a wide range of characters about the future of their shared basin. 

Set 50 years after the passage of the Clean Water Act, NO OTHER LAKE is both a celebration of the unique beauty of Lake Champlain and a confrontation with its greatest challenges. This adventure-conservation documentary strives to inspire people to better connect with the natural world around them, see issues from a different point of view, and get involved with stewardship efforts happening close to home.

This project was made possible with support from Lake Champlain Basin Program, Grand Isle County NRCD, UVM Office of Fellowships, Opportunities, & Undergraduate Research, John M. Bissell Foundation, NRS, Werner Paddles, and Small Boat Exchange.

This project has been funded in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under assistance agreement (LC-00A00695-0) to NEIWPCC in partnership with the Lake Champlain Basin Program.
