Notice to Mariners

Champlain Canal – Mechanicville

July 24, 2020

Mariners are advised that New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) will lower the water surface level between Champlain Canal Locks C-3 Mechanicville (or elevation = 66.1 to 65.6 feet) beginning on Monday, August 3rd and lasting approximately two weeks, to accommodate inspection and maintenance on the dam at Lock C-3.

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.
