Facilities:

Park lands were donated to the State by the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1955. The DAR operates the John Strong Mansion/Museum next to the park. Much of the 95-acre park, located on the shores of Lake Champlain, was once open farm and pasture land. The foundations of the first English settlers in the area (1765) remain today (picnic area).

There are 70 sites including 24 lean-tos located in an open grassy area, as well as under a mature stand of hickory trees. There are flush toilets, hot showers ($), and a dump station provided. There is a small picnic area located on a bluff above the lake, as well as a nice stone pavilion/picnic shelter for group gatherings. Boating, fishing, sailing, and swimming are popular in Lake Champlain.

Area Attractions: Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, Basin Harbor; Crown Point, Chimney Point, Fort Ticonderoga, and Shelburne Museum, Shelburne; Lake Champlain Ferries; Morgan Horse Farm, Middlebury.
