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.

Jet Trail

These are tree at Point Au Rouche, just north of Plattsburgh. The sun has set and the silhouette of the trees provide a perfect backdrop to even the sky which is now dominated by man in the form of jets leaving the Plattsburgh Municipal Airport.
