I did notice that the cove below the fort is considerably less weedy than it was a few years ago, they must have run a harvester boat thru there.

You anchor in the anchorage. Then look carefully at the shoreline for a break in the trees and take your dink ashore. As you get closer there will be a lot of grass so you may have to paddle in. Find a place to land that allows you a dry landing. Walk into the grass field and to the right will be a long flight of stairs up to the Fort. Our blog shows the stairs in a photo http://tinyurl.com/l775yq5 R, Our blog is http://www.SayGood-Bye.com Youtube channel for the videos www.youtube.com/user/ralphyost1 Say Good-Bye 41 Defever -----Original Message----- From: Great-Loop [mailto:great-loop-bounces@lists.trawlering.com] On Behalf Of fred@tug44.org Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2013 10:51 PM To: Great Loop List Subject: GL: Fort Ticonderoga I made 2 recent visits to Fort Ticonderoga on the shore of Lake Champlain recently and got some wonderful (I think) photos including some aerial shots from a mountain 2 miles away using a very long lens. Haven't yet figured out a reasonable way to access the fort via boat, but the anchorage below the fort is getting quite popular lately. I saw some dinghys going to the shore, so there must be a way. So I re-did my page with the new photos: http://www.tug44.org/champlain.canal/fort-ticonderoga/ Hope ya like it.
