City of Mechanicville - Champlain Canal |
 |
|
Mechanicville is a very nice port with a new town wall including electric, water, pumpout ... all free. The town is quite nice and has all the amenities. Friendly folks and a nice place. Safe too, the pier is right behind the police station.

This stream zig-zags right through town including under some buildings, and enters the Hudson River at the end of the pier. Looks like a place where trout might be found in the crystal clean water here.

They keep the street lights on all night at the pier, and the bugs come from miles around. This photo shows my deck with a few hours of bugs that got stuck to the dew-covered deck and died there. It took some major scrubbing to remove them all. The trick here is not to park your boat directly under any of the lights. |
