From the fort ruins at Crown Point, there is a good view of one of the few bridges that cross Lake Champlain. This one, aptly named the Champlain Bridge, replaced another bridge in 2011.
On the other side of the highway, without crossing the bridge, one finds a small campground and a lighthouse. This particular lighthouse is also a monument to Samuel de Champlain. It's an interesting structure and difficult to photograph from any creative angles. Beyond this, people can walk out onto the lake for fishing or tie up their boats to take a picnic. Once again, I was able to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
