Product Description
A firsthand account of more than 1,000 miles of waterways within and around the Empire State, including the Hudson River, Chambly Canal, and the Richelieu River. The author reveals that while boaters enjoy cruising on Lake Champlain, many are unaware of the many sunken ships that comprise its "underwater historic preserves".

 Fun & Information-Filled June 9, 1999
20 out of 22 found this review helpful
I found this book a must have for my cruise this spring. It's jam-packed with information, from the depth of water to a complete list of marinas and their amenities. I am surprised that a book that is so packed with critical information could also be so easy to understand and fun. The many photos, maps and stories make this book a pleasure to read. I'm glad I purchased this book a month before my trip. I kept it on my night stand, and by reading a little bit each night, it made for a better vacation. The references throughout the book, like tips for clearing customs, what not to miss, and tourist information listings, alone were worth the price of the book to me. As a novice boater. I also appreciated the chapter on marina etiquette.

Chris Brown truely has a grasp on what a boater in the Northeast is looking for. I found that the information about the ports of call were particularly helpful for those not familiar with these areas. Highly recommended for those traveling in the Northeast.
Great "Cruising Guide" at a great price May 29, 2009

We purchased this book to help guide us through the Erie Canal, Champlain Barge Canal, and Lake Champlain this summer on our houseboat. Although the State of New York has a wonderful guide to canals, this book provides more details such as where to watch for undercurrents, suggestions to avoid currents while waiting for a lock, etc. Since we haven't taken the trip yet, we can only hope it is accurate and as helpful as it seems it will be.
Very helpful on my trip up Champlain Canal and Lake September 12, 2005

4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Ths book was very helpful on a several-day trip I made up the Champlain Canal and Lake Champlain. It directed me to a fabulous anchorage I would otherwise likely not have learned about. I'd recommend buying it well in advance of a trip (at least weeks) in order to read and digest the information. This book must be used in conjunction with official navigation charts, and I'd recommend the official New York State Cruising Guide to the Canal System.
Ny Waterways Guide August 30, 2005
H. Donald Logan (Milford, NH)
A thorough compilliation of facts and data for mariners interested in cruising NY and Vermont waterways from the Hudson river up through Lake Champlain and its environs.
Well done and very informative. One should have this book with them for planning and cruising.
Noah charts must be obtained seperately.
