Yesterday, my family paid a visit to Fort Ticonderoga in Lake Champlain's South Basin. Visiting the fort taught us about the strategic importance of the lake during the French and Indian War & Revolutionary War. Hydrologically, the La Chute River, which drains Lake George, empties into Champlain at Ticonderoga. This view is from Mt. Defiance looking north toward the fort, with the river mouth to its south. #52LakeChamplain #Ticonderoga #LaChute #NewYork #Vermont #LakeChamplain #RevolutionaryWar
