Whitehall is the town at the junction between the Champlain Canal and Lake Champlain and is considered the birthplace of the American Navy. It is the last stop before the canal ends and the lake begins. It offers numerous marine facilities and an abundance of resturants. This is the last time to dock for free until you reach some of the northern parts of Lake Champlain. For sailors, this is the time to put up your masts, and then wait until the lake opens wide enough to safely sail.
