Sly Pond
The remote Sly Pond is one of the highest bodies of water in Adirondack Park at an elevation of 2,872 feet. It was once infamous for being a marker of how acidic Adirondack lakes had become by the eighties, with the DEC recording in 1980 the pond having an acidity of 3.54 which is about as "acidic as a dill pickle".
Fort Cassin
Fort Cassin, also spelled as "Fort Cassin," is a historical fort located in Ferrisburgh, Vermont, USA. It was constructed during the War of 1812, a conflict between the United States and Great Britain. The fort was named after Captain Lewis Cassin, a U.S. Navy officer who was killed in action during the War of 1812.
Fort Cassin was strategically positioned on Lake Champlain to defend against potential British invasions from Canada. It consisted of earthworks and wooden palisades, typical of fortifications of that era. The fort played a role in the defense of the northern frontier during the war.
One notable event involving Fort Cassin occurred in 1814 during the Battle of Plattsburgh. The British launched an invasion from Canada, aiming to capture key positions along Lake Champlain. American forces, including Fort Cassin's defenders, played a crucial role in repelling the British assault, contributing to the American victory in the battle.
After the War of 1812, Fort Cassin lost its military significance and fell into disrepair. Today, the site of Fort Cassin is preserved as a historic landmark, providing visitors with insights into the military history of the region and the role played by fortifications like Fort Cassin during the early 19th century.

Island Line Trail
The Island Line Trail, also known as the Colchester Causeway, is a 14-mile (23 km) rail trail located in northwest Vermont. It comprises the Burlington Bike Path (Burlington), Colchester Park (Colchester) and the Allen Point Access Area (South Hero).
There was little on-line traffic left on that portion of the route and freight for Canada could be routed from Burlington north to Montreal over the somewhat longer Central Vermont Railway through St. Albans, Vermont. After several years of inactivity, restoring service on the Island Line would have required extensive rebuilding, and renovations of the three swing bridges on the line, over various bays of Lake Champlain. Ultimately all of the bridges on the route were removed, but the roadbed on the causeway across the lake survived, as it was heavily built with much use of granite. The alignment along the shores of Lake Champlain from Burlington Union Station north to the causeway was converted to form the Burlington Bike Path, and later took the Island Line name when the causeway was reopened, with a seasonal bike-ferry replacing the swing bridge in the northern portion of the causeway alignment. Due to a 200-foot (61 m) gap in the causeway, the organization Local Motion operates the Island Line Bike Ferry to shuttle cyclists across the gap.
