I drove by Lake Champlain yesterday on the way to Alexandria Bay, NY.
I am always surprised that for a body of water so large and open it is often very flat, hardly a ripple. I know it can get rough but often is very calm. I have been out boating on the lake and found it to be a lot less scenic and enticing than Winnipesaukee. Almost too open and not enough to look at. But, that is just the portion I have been on, I may have missed the "good parts". I just looked at an online site and it appears that the water temperature has gone from 55 to 67 in the last 7 days. That is quite an increase. In the 1970's four of us trailered a boat to Burlington, Vermont, launched into Champlain, and traveled up the Richelieu River which connects Champlain to the St. Lawrence Seaway. You have to stop at the border crossing station on the water before you proceed into Canadian waters. I don't know if that trip is even possible with conditions today. We ended up docked in Montreal at a site that was built for the 1967 Worlds Fair. That is a great trip I would be happy to do over again. A lot of great scenery and local culture. |
