Every named river in the Adirondack Park — the Hudson, the Moose, the Raquette, the Sacandaga, and the rivers that drain the High Peaks.
La Chute River drains the outlet of Lake George at Ticonderoga, dropping through a series of rapids and small waterfalls before joining Lake Champlain — a short, fast corridor that once powered mills and now marks the eastern edge of the park boundary. The name is French for "the falls," a reference to the cascades that made this stretch strategically important during the colonial wars and industrially valuable in the 19th century. The river itself is more historical footnote than paddling destination: most of the flow is diverted or controlled, and public access is limited to roadside views and the occasional put-in near the lake. If you're driving NY-22 or NY-9N near Ti, it's worth a look for the drop and the stone ruins along the banks.
