Hello! The NY Canal system has a page with all the bridge heights. You’ll find it here: https://www.canals.ny.gov/wwwapps/navinfo/navinfo.aspx?waterway=champlain

Best of luck with your travels!

Love New York State! I am flying up to purchase a troller. In one of the photos I saw a bridge that only looks to be 12 feet high. Are there going to be any surprises. Is there a document showing the ridge heights? Thank you. I’ll be powering to the eastern seaboard, and then south.

As I don’t know anyone who has navigated this journey, I was grasping for information until I, fortunately, discovered your URL via Google.
We’re planning a journey in both directions very soon, North in early July, and South around Labor Day time, so your advice is highly appreciated. I recognize we’ll not be the only saltwater sailors venturing into the Lake. You’ve provided invaluable “local knowledge,” and I’m going to contact the lockmasters to gain additional information, an estimate of traffic, preparation recommendations, and the opportune time to transit the NYS canal system. While I’ll be a newbie, I hope to benefit from the wisdom and experience of “old salts” and freshwater enthusiasts willing to share their knowledge. As a fellow sailor with a stepped mast, I appreciate your assistance.
Favorable winds and following seas, Ted G
