In Episode #114, we travel most of the Champlain Canal amongst beautiful scenery, ending in Whitehall, NY. We stayed 2 nights while waiting out a thunderstorm, but were able to explore Whitehall and even enjoy a delicious breakfast at local eatery, Historic Grounds.

Glad to hear you narrating some information about the locks and local stuff.

Hi Peter, most of our episodes do include some relevant information and history about the area we are transiting. Thanks for watching.😎

This is probably the most beautiful video you have produced yet. Not a lot of traffic or waves fromother boats creating a traffic jam. would you rather have confronted a couple of commercial barges along the way. Enjoy

Hi Buck, thanks so much for your lovely comment! We certainly did enjoy this trip back in May. It was just starting to warm up then, so not everyone had their boats out. And being a less travelled route along the loop, we loved the tranquility and beautiful scenery. (I'm OK to not see any barges!) We can't wait to share with you the next few episodes in Lake Champlain! Thanks so much for following along😎

What a great video. The canal reminds me of the river portions of the Trent-Severn and Rideau Canal. The scenery is amazing and the cruising is relaxing and enjoyable, with the low bridges adding some drama. Your choice of music was perfect. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Hey Gary, glad you enjoyed this segment. We agree, the canal is similar to the Rideau and Trent-Severn. We enjoyed seeing the hills and can’t wait to share the next episode with you! Thanks for watching!😎

Glad you enjoyed it Wilma! Thanks so much for watching.😎

Great scenery! I love New York - as they say. Pretty amazing how early this canal was built. When presumably all they had was horse power.

@staycool123 11 месяцев назад

We agree, the Champlain Canal does have some great scenery. And can you imagine back in the day building this by hand and horse power?!? Quite a feat! Thanks for watching!😎

We talk about it in the next episode!😎

The spillway you passed is the feeder canal from the Hudson River in Glens Falls, N.Y.

Cool! Thanks for watching Dale😎

We really enjoyed your trip up the Champlain Canal. We plan to do the loop in a few years, and this may have swayed us to go this route vs. the Erie Canal. 😊

@staycool123 11 месяцев назад

Hi Mary Beth, glad you enjoyed this episode along the Champlain Canal! It’s very picturesque and I think less busy than the Erie route. As long as your boat fits under the fixed bridges with the lowest at 17 feet at normal pool, we recommend this route! In the next few episodes you’ll see Lake Champlain, the Chambly Canal and up to the St. Lawrence River. Thanks for watching!😎

@marybethwhite5413 11 месяцев назад

@staycool123 we're looking forward to them. Are you home yet or still traveling? Hope you're having a great day. ☺️

@staycool123 11 месяцев назад

It takes time to produce the videos, so in real-time we have already completed our loop! I’m working hard to release two episodes each week. There is still a lot more to share with you.😎 And I hope you’re having a great day too!😉

I know that area well. Whitehall is very poor these days, but was a boom town for 100 years because of the canal. And the reason that Whitehall is The Birthplace of the American Navy, despite being landlocked in Upstate New York, is that the colonists built the first ship at Whitehall to confront the British on Lake Champlain.

@staycool123 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing this information. We did notice Whitehall is suffering these days but can imagine how busy it would have been back in the day. We do remember reading about the first ship being built… so interesting! Thanks for watching @tigerphid9677 😎

Neat country, thanks for view

@staycool123 11 месяцев назад

Photographs don’t always do the scenery justice… definitely better in person. Thanks for watching Patrick!😎

@algamble 11 месяцев назад

You mention that you transited early....what date did you transit the Champlain canal? We will likely be coming through in mid-late June.

@staycool123 11 месяцев назад

Hi Al, we travelled this area in May, shortly after the Troy Federal Lock and the NY locks opened for the season. I believe the locks opened May 19 and we waited a few days starting May 22. You should be fine in mid June and it will have warmed up a bit too! Thanks for watching and safe travels!😎
