The city of Mechanicville like many of the cities across New York was developed because of the success of the canal system. Over time the canal was moved from it original course though own the current path just just inside the city border.
Mechanicville offers any boater many reasons to stop. Its large free wall with power (15/20 amp), water, and trash is enough, but the city offers much more. A short walk brings you to a library, shopping centers with stores to meet any demand (except marine), restaurants, a movie theater and more.
