Missisquoi Bay
Missisquoi Bay is a large extension in the northern part of Champlain Lake, at the East of the output of the latter in Richelieu River. It takes the form of a violin head, handle leaving the head of the lake and having about 5 km in diameter. The bay is divided between the Quebec in Canada and Vermont in United States. The main town on its banks is Venise-en-Québec, a major summer resort. The river of the same name flows into the bay and the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge is located on the American side.
== Toponymy ==
Champlain, first governor of New France, was the first European to visit the region. The name that has an Abenaki origin, would mean "a lot of waterfowl" but other senses are also advanced. It appears offiellement to eighteenth century in the concession document made on Paul-Louis de Lusignan Dazemard the "Missiskouy Bay". The graph will change several times. In 1855, when changes to electoral counties of Lower Canada into electoral districts, the Legislature finally adopts the form ''Missisquoi'' to designate the county and the region.
