Well, yes, there is the modern Champlain. But there is the historical
Champlain, with the old 1800's locks that in many places still exist. Some
are now alongside the modern canal, used as lock overflows/bypasses. Some
are on parts of the old canal that were abandoned when it was modernized
and the new channel relocated and those are often in the middle of nowhere,
at least not near an active channel.
