TICONDEROGA — Lake Champlain’s only mom-and-pop ferry opened for the season on Saturday, May 5.

The cable ferry owned by Michael and Alison Matot runs between the Ticonderoga ferry landing and Shoreham, Vt. “We will be opening (Saturday) morning at 7 a.m. and our last trip of the day will be at 5:45 p.m.,” Alison Matot said.

She has her U.S. Coast Guard pilot’s license, and often operates the ferry, along with Capt.
