On the trail of... Champ

Primeval Champlain explores the darker depths of the lake and swampy marshes alongside the Mardis-Dranginis Lake Champlain Research team, as well as Katy Elizabeth of Champ Search, each team showcasing their research approaches. Included is an interview with a witness who recalls the extraordinary Champ monster sightings that have taken place over the years near the mouth of Winooski River.

Champ Search follows Katy Elizabeth of "Champ Search" as her team searches various corners of the lake both in the daytime and at night, from deploying a scuba diver in the depths of Arnold's bay to utilizing audio equipment to monitor for echolocation to researching during the winter months.

Episode 5 deals with the local communities surrounding Lake Champlain and their relationship with the lake, but more broadly with the Champ monster as a cultural phenomenon. Discussed is Champ as a local mascot, the various ecological threats facing the Lake and the future of Champ research and what that may hold for the lake.
