GL: Fort Edward

[fred]

Jonathan,

Be VERY careful when you exit Fort Edward Harbor.. there are Big
Rocks right in the middle of what folks think is the channel.  It's under 3
feet in the middle.  Hug the pier.

Good meals are available in Fort Edward
at The Anvil Restaurant.

I have some pictures you may enjoy.  The old lock
and aqueduct are here:

And about 2 miles north on Burgoyne Avenue is a rather impressive flight of
five old locks known as the Five Combines, seen here:

Enjoy your stay there!
