THE RICHELIEU CANAL

I really didn't think we would make it through this narrow section

Vicky followed us up five locks and then turned us over to the lock master who finished them with us. I remember him from the trip home with KIDS AGAIN 5 years ago.

Richeleu Canal takes a boater from 96 feet above sea level at Lake Champlain, 84 feet via 10 locks to 12 feet above seal level at the St. Lawrence River. This trip from the US/Canadian Border north to Sorel is about 68 nautical miles.
