A local network route of approximately 69 kilometers, this section traces State Route 9N northward from Ticonderoga to Westport through one of the region's most historically resonant corridors. The trail is reported to offer sweeping views across Lake Champlain to the Green Mountains and westward into the High Peaks, though much of the route follows roadway rather than backcountry footpath. What distinguishes the passage is its traversal of rural Essex County's working landscape, where the Champlain Valley opens between mountain ranges and nineteenth-century settlement patterns remain visible in stone walls and farmsteads.
Champlain Valley Trail (Ticonderoga to Westport) runs 27.5 miles (44.3 km) with about 4,362 feet of elevation gain — a demanding hike, with a gentle, rolling grade, about 23 h 30 min on the trail.
At 27.5 miles, few hike it in a single push. It breaks into 9 trailhead-to-trailhead sections — tap Favorite to save a stretch, then hike it in the app instead of the whole line.
