Probably not too early to start planning for a trip we'd like to take.
Basically nyc to erie canal. Through canal with possible finger lakes visit. At buffalo, find best way to st lawrence river.
Then exit st lawrence to get into lake champlain. Down to hudson and back to nyc.
I read that the welland canal is to be avoided when getting from buffalo into st lawrence. Not sure we want to backtrack through Erie Canal to get into lake ontario via oswego canal. Also not sure we want to run the length of lake ontario. Im most fuzzy on thos leg of the trip ( buffalo to st lawrence).
Then, what are best options to get from st lawrence back into champlain?
We are mainship 390, 40ft with 3.7ft draft. Air draft can be 13.5 with mast and bimini down. I think we're around 15.5 mast down and bimini up. Will definitely confirm that.
Ideas? Any blogs of folks that have run this route?
