The Fort Ticonderoga Ferry 1759 Traditional Cache

Once you find this cache consider crossing the lake via the Fort Ticonderoga Ferry , which links Shoreham, VT to Ticonderoga, NY. Taking the ferry is an experience in itself!  The drive down to the ferry landing on the VT side is really pretty — you pass by several large apple orchards, and the view of  the lake and the Adirondacks beyond just gets prettier, the closer you get to the ferry. The ferry itself is pretty small and it crosses the lake via an underwater cable. It’s a short 7-minute ride. Check their website for schedule and prices.(http://www.forttiferry.com/)  From May to October the Fort Museum is open and you can immerse yourself in the history of the area.  Once across the Lake, take the left before the Rail Road tracks...the ticket kiosk is located just a few hundred yards beyond the turn off.  The Restaurant is a fine place for lunch, as well!
