Surviving Portion of Champlain Canal
Built in the 1820s, many years after the Revolutionary War, this section of the Champlain Canal followed the same natural north-south route chosen by Burgoyne’s invading army.
Linking the Hudson River with Lake Champlain, the canal joined northern New York State with the western wilderness by way of the Famous Erie Canal.
The scene shows the type of canal boat used in the 1830s and 40s.
Marker can be reached from Park Tour Road, on the right when traveling west.
