Boat........via Lake Champlain
We are located in Mallets Bay on Lake Champlain. To get
here by boat you will enter the outer bay at "The Gut". Sailboaters
use caution. The water directly to the west of the opening is
very shallow and cannot be navigated directly in. Best to call us for
seasonal water depths and good directions in. Once into the outer bay
travel on a course of approximately 120° magnetic.
This will bring you through the narrows or the gate into the inner bay. To
the right you will see the first marina which is the Marble Island Club.
Follow this south shore around past the next anchorage which will be the Three
Island Yacht Club (not on the charts) and then Brown Ledge Camp. The
next bay in on the right will be your first opportunity to access our
shop. Travel on in to the end of the bay and you will see the
Champlain Marina directly in the center of the bays end. Dock on the
end of one of the two sections. Look for Bruce. You will find a pay phone at the store at docks
end. This is a good place to get ice, fuel, water and limited
provisions. Call us at 658-6826. The shop is a 10 minute walk
up Prim Rd from where you are. Your next opportunity for dockage if
you elect to go further into the inner bay will be The Moorings.
Pass by this first bay and continue along the south shoreline. After
passing the next point, Coates Island on the chart, the inner bay
will open up to your south. Take a new course of approximately
195º magnetic. Start looking for the building with the light green
roof. This is The Moorings. You can tie up here. Ask for
Peter or Julie. Also Sean and Chris are very helpful. Its about a
15 minute walk to the shop via #127 (Lakeshore Dr) and Prim Rd. You'll
pass a good hardware store and grocery store on the left of #127 as you walk in
a westerly direction. Lots of traffic so be careful. No fuel at the
Moorings but next door to the east is Mallets Bay Marina (Jakes). He
sells fuel, water and ice. Note....all compass headings are
approximate. There is no substitute for actual line
of sight navigation. Be prudent when entering.
