How polluted it is is also very overrated. Outside of phosphorus it's actually pretty clean.

agreed and i’m encouraged by the active coordinated efforts to maintain or improve its water quality between quebec, new york, and vermont.

there are concerning outbreaks every summer for swimmers in certain bays and often near a population center like btv.

The inland sea area is the most concerning. Hopefully Franklin county can get sources cleaned up.
