Notice to Mariners

Champlain Canal – Mechanicville

August 15, 2024

 

Mariners are advised that New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) will lower the water surface level between Champlain Canal Lock C-3 in Mechanicville and Lock C4 in Stillwater approximately 6” below the spillway crest, beginning close of business Monday, August 19th to Wednesday, August 21st, to accommodate inspection and maintenance on the dam at Lock C-3. Water levels are anticipated to begin returning to normal navigations levels starting close of business Wednesday, August 21st. Further updates will be provided in subsequent Notice to Mariner alerts.

 

These activities will cause a drop in the water level which may affect boats and docks on the pond level above Lock C-3. This reduction should not impact most recreational traffic. Commercial or recreational vessels drafting more than 10 feet should contact the Canal Corporation for additional information at 518-461-0942. Any complications or inclement weather conditions may delay this schedule.
