Notice to Mariners

Champlain Canal – Mechanicville

August 22, 2024

 

Mariners are advised that New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) has lowered the water surface level between Champlain Canal Lock C-3 in Mechanicville and Lock C4 in Stillwater approximately 6” below the spillway crest and has been extended until the close of business today, August 22^nd, to accommodate inspection and maintenance on the dam at Lock C-3.

These activities have caused 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.
