Plattsburgh Bay, Historic bay along Lake Champlain in Plattsburgh, New York.
The inlet extends along the western shore of Lake Champlain, bounded by Cumberland Head peninsula and the mainland city of Plattsburgh.
The bay gained national recognition as the site of a decisive naval victory during the Battle of Plattsburgh on September 11, 1814.
The Macdonough Memorial, a 135-foot limestone obelisk near City Hall, commemorates the American naval commander who led forces during the bay battle.
The protected waters of Plattsburgh Bay provide access to recreational activities, including swimming at Plattsburgh City Beach from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
The National Historic Landmark designation includes three distinct areas: the bay waters, Fort Brown remains, and the Macdonough Memorial.
