d (1 mile water crossing from the Peru boat launch and 11.9 miles of trails) The area surrounding this historic island, now owned by the state, was the site of a pivotal naval battle during the Revolutionary War. The historic lighthouse, built in 1874, is open to the public on some Sundays during the summer. There are many beautiful views from the shoreline trail that circles the island, skirting cliffs, a heron rookery, beaches and sheltered bays. The island is a very popular camping destination for boaters on Lake Champlain in the summer. There is an abundance of poison ivy on the island; wear long pants, socks and closed toe shoes to avoid exposure. The water crossing can become dangerous when windy conditions cause the narrow channel to become very rough. Be sure to check the weather forecast before setting out and choose your day wisely.

Across the water, great hiking trails and sandy beaches. Old ruins and a lighthouse.

De belles plages et c'est aussi un parc National. Vous pouvez y coucher en tente ou bateau gratuitement. Un cool périple que nous fessons à chaque année. Un beau feu sur le bord de la plage, c'est magique. La seule façon de s'y rendre est en bateau.
