Enjoy a morning of late winter birding with a walk along the lake! This walk will pass through several shrubby and forested habitats before reaching the tip of Long Point with its panoramic views of Lake Champlain. Expect to see a variety of winter and resident songbirds, waterbirds, and possibly more! The trail is approximately 2 miles round trip with gently-sloping grassy, rocky or dirt paths. Trail conditions may be snowy, muddy or icy depending on the weather.

Bring: Binoculars, snacks, water, and dress for the weather (it will be windy near the lake).
