What we chart on Lake Champlain
Navigating Lake Champlain
Lake Champlain, VT is a lake in Vermont and New York, and this page collects what Navi Wake knows about navigating it. The lake is charted for routing, which means Navi Wake can plan a path across open water that stays off the land and follows the channel instead of drawing a straight line through a peninsula.
We hold 342 charted navigation aids on Lake Champlain. That breaks down into 18 channel markers, 153 marked hazards, 24 lights, 6 locks, and 141 special-purpose markers. We also chart 114 public boat ramps and 50 marinas on the shoreline, mapped separately from the aids above. Depth coverage comes from 996 surveyed soundings and 114 depth contours, which is what lets the chart shade the shallows.
