Anchorage Review for Fort Ticonderoga

LOA: 37'
Draft: 3.0'

We were there in 2015 and anchored "under the guns" for 3 nights.

We dingy'd due west of the anchorage and found the passage through the reeds to the La Chute River. We then were able to travel to the town of Ticonderoga. After passing under the covered foot bridge, you come to the beautiful falls. Immediately to the right is a town dock.

There was a local boater who's mission was to keep the La Chute River clear and navigable. They did a great job as we never hit anything or bumped into anything. Clear water too.

A short walk, even for me and I'm disabled, into town and lots of nice "Mom and Pop" eateries.

It was a $5 taxi ride to the Fort, where they had the most fantastic home made mixed berry pie! We bought a whole pie and took it back to the boat.

Overall a great adventure and worthwhile stop.

Switch to Satellite View to see the La Chute River.

Marina Review for Safe Harbor Shelburne Shipyard

Rating: 5

We had our VHF antenna replaced in Norfolk, in 2015, but it did not work. We came to Shelburne's and they had it trouble shot and replaced. It was "bad out of the box"

Since we had work done, they did not charge us for overnight dockage.

They have, by far, the lowest prices for diesel fuel as the owner thinks all the other marina's waaayyyy overcharge!

An outstanding shipyard for service and customer support! Very fair and honest.

If we are ever back that way, we'll be there for fuel and any services we might need.
