Partridge Harbour is a natural cut on Lake Champlain's western shore in the undeveloped slope of the Adirondack Mountains. It's narrow entrance allows for complete protection.
The mountain's steep rock palisades rise quickly to great heights above the water creating numerous secluded, sheltered, tree-lined bays.
A storm arrived shortly after we set anchor in Partridge Harbour. It came with a vengeance of lightning, wind and rain.
We were grateful to be tucked into the snug, natural harbour and found ourselves wondering about the others who may have taken shelter here through the years.....perhaps a gunboat or two during the 1776 Revolutionary War.
Partridge Harbour measures approximately 500' X 500' with 38' maximum depth and a 300' entrance.
It is surrounded by a tree-lined steep (100' or so) rock facade. Truly a very safe and secure location for a stormy night!
