The Quiz: The Champlain Canal in New York connects Lake Champlain to what river?
Delaware River
Hudson River
Merrimack River
Charles River
The Champlain Canal was opened in 1822 and connects the Hudson River to the southern tip of Lake Champlain in New York. Before the construction of the canal, travelers had to portage over land from the Hudson to Lake George and then again to Lake Champlain — a costly and arduous path. Today, the Champlain Canal stretches 60 miles and is primarily used by recreational travelers as it is generally only 12 feet deep.
The correct answer to this quiz is Hudson River.
