Arnold Bay
Arnold Bay was named after Benedict Arnold, known as a traitor during the American Revolution, but before that he was an important part of fighting for the American cause. He created a navy for Lake Champlain, battled the British at Valcour Island, and burned the boats in this bay during retreat from that battle, effectively stopping the British from gaining a foothold in the area.
