Gorgeous and inspiring spot! A bit difficult to get there at the end, if you're not well coordinated, make sure you have good balance to navigate down to the lake bluff. Do not have to go down to the water, to enjoy great views of the lake Champlain and Adirondack mountains.

What a hidden gem! Love the location, the trails, views, and maps all over the place. Some uphills and downhills so be prepared, but nothing too hard. Excellent shade for hot sunny days.
