located at the top of the mountain and on the mountainside. Flush toilets and
hot showers ($) are provided. The mountaintop picnic area offers spectacular
views of the lake, valley, and mountains to the west. An enclosed picnic shelter

the base. Swimming is available at Kingsland Bay State Park (6 miles) or Button
Bay State Park (15 miles). There is boating, fishing, and sailing in nearby Lake
Champlain.
