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.

Red Building

Along a gravel trail heading out along Conner Bay. I wanted to put a kayak out on Connor Bay, but it was much too rough.

Saint Armands Beach

Looking off Short Point. You can just barely make out the wind turbines up on Rand Hill/Pine Ridge to the west.

Tree Along The Edge

Just looking at this picture reminds me of the simple beauty of Point Au Roche and the days I would spend in college exploring this amazing area.
