Champlain Canal Scheduled Lockings and Double Draining
Lock C-1 (Waterford), Lock C-2 (Halfmoon), Lock C-3 (Mechanicville), and Lock C-4 (Stillwater) will pass recreational vessels three times daily. Lock C-1 will pass northbound traffic and Lock C-4 will pass southbound traffic daily at 8:00 am, 10:00 am, and 2:00 pm. Locks C-2 and C-3 will pass traffic when the vessels arrive from Locks C-1 or C-4.
Additionally, these locks will operate on a "double draining" procedure. Each lock will be maintained in full condition and emptied twice during locking operations. For northbound traffic, the locks will be drained twice before traffic enters the lock chamber. For southbound traffic, the lock will be emptied and refilled once before the vessels are admitted into the lock for southbound passage. The second draining will occur with the vessels in the lock.
Vessels will not be permitted to moor overnight at the Lock C-1 (Waterford) and Lock C-4 (Stillwater) approach walls.
