The
Champlain Canal follows the Hudson River about 37 miles to Lock 7 and Fort
Edward. The last 23 miles are man made. There are 11 locks - 1
to 12. No Lock 10.
The canal begins in Waterford and ends in Whitehall
at Lock 12.
Before the canal, boat travel ended at
Fort Edward. Boats were then dragged and carried to Lake George.
Today, a free dock, electricity and water greet the
traveler.
Another free high wall dock with
water, electricity and a nearby restroom with showers.
We enjoyed the best meals of the entire New York
cruise at the Finch & Chubb Restaurant in Whitehall, just beyond Lock 12.
