This fall has seen some extrensive flooding in the area, and the La Chute Falls have added a roar to the park in Ticonderoga, New York. Other areas of Upstate New York have seen road washouts and damage to structures due to flooding.
The La Chute Falls, located in the town of Ticonderoga, is surrounded by a quaint, fresh park atmosphere, conducive to strolling or bicycling. Here is a monument to Samuel de Champlain, which seems to contradict the monument at Crown Point and the account that is accepted by the people at Fort Ticonderoga. I guess all we know is that there was a battle, Champlain was involved, and it occurred somewhere in the region, but no one can pin down the exact location to satisfy everyone. The falls themselves still symbolize the descent from Lake George into Lake Champlain - an elevation change that exceeds that of Niagara in just a short distance, explaining why boats could not navigate the La Chute. Instead this otherwise water connecting the two water highways required a portage around some of the rapids and falls in the river. This fall has seen some extrensive flooding in the area, and the La Chute Falls have added a roar to the park in Ticonderoga, New York. Other areas of Upstate New York have seen road washouts and damage to structures due to flooding. Visit my Fort Ticonderoga page for more about the Fort Ticonderoga Teacher Institute.
