Champlain Canal, Historical canal system in Washington County, United States.

The Champlain Canal extends 60 miles from Waterford to Whitehall, connecting the Hudson River to Lake Champlain through eleven navigation locks.

The construction of the canal began in 1817 and reached completion in 1823, establishing a vital transportation route between New York and Canada.

The canal received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, preserving its engineering legacy across Rensselaer, Saratoga, and Washington counties.

Modern vessels up to 300 feet long and 43.5 feet wide can navigate through the canal's single-chamber locks, which maintain specific water levels.

The Glens Falls Feeder Canal supplies water to the highest section of the waterway, enabling continuous navigation between different elevations.
