Point Au Roche

Point Au Roche State Park, on the northwestern shore of Lake Champlain, is a mixture of open and forested areas, most of them natural and undeveloped. The park’s large day-use area has a protected, sandy beach, picnic facilities and concession stand. Boating and fishing are popular activities, as are volleyball, softball and other games. The park offers 60 designated mooring sites in Deep Bay. The staffed Nature Center offers a variety of programs open to the public all year. The park’s trails, including nature, hiking and biking trails, wind through interesting habitats, from forest to marsh to shoreline. The trails are in use all year for school programs, nature hikes and cross-country skiing. The park also provides access for ice fishing.

Two Foot Waves on Connors Bay

There is no way I was going to put a kayak in there. Maybe some very calm day, I'll be brave enough to go kayaking in a bay at Point Au Roche, close to the shore, but not today.

Point Au Roch Beach

Believe it or not, it was open on this rather rough day, with not the nicest weather. So if you want to go swimming in some rough surf, you could, with lifeguards watching you.
