We arrive in Waterford where the Erie Canal starts about three hours after leaving Shady Harbor Marina. Leg 33 of our Great Loop takes us through the Federal Lock at Troy, NY after which some Loopers head towards the Champlain Canal and others head for the Erie. Each boat's air draft is one factor that goes into the decision making on which way to go. For more on the bridge clearance requirements on these canals, visit www.greatloop.org/faqs.
The Great Loop is comprised of 6,000 miles of interconnected waterways that enable boaters to circumnavigate the eastern U.S. and part of Canada. Learn more at www.greatloop.org
