Point Au Roche a point of interest for hikersBEEKMANTOWN — Point Au Roche State Park, locat-

ed on the northwestern shore of Lake Champlain in thetown of Beekmantown, offers scenic views of more than800 acres of pristine woodlands, rolling meadows and, ofcourse, Lake Champlain.

Point Au Roche is a mixture of open and forested areas.Most are natural and undeveloped, however, there areseveral nature, hiking and biking trails which windthrough forest, marsh and shoreline habitats.

One such trail is the Dr. Philip C. Walker MemorialBotanical Trail. Dendrologists — those who study the sci-ence of trees — and any nature-lover for that matter, willappreciate the beauty of the Northern Red Oaks, North-ern White Cedars, Shagbark Hickories and other speciesof trees that surround the trail. The trail is named afterthe late Dr. Philip C. Walker, a noted botanist and fieldbiologist who was known for his love of the section ofPoint Au Roche. The memorial trail connects 13 exhibitsthat interpret the rich diversity of botanical species andthe natural communities of the park.

Point Au Roche State Park is also widely known for itslarge day-use area that has a protected sandy beach, pic-nic facilities and concession stand. Boaters, fishing enthu-siasts and swimmers are sure to be pleased with the abun-dant recreational opportunities the park has to offer.However, take note — there are no campsites available.

Point Au Roche State Park is accessible by Point AuRoche Road, off State Route 9 north of the city of Platts-burgh. Travelers coming from Interstate 87 may take Exit40, head east on Spellman Road and take a right on StateRoute 9. Turn left on Point Au Roche Road and turn righton Camp Red Cloud Road where you will arrive at thepark.

For more information, contact the park at 518-563-0369.

Looking for bicycling fun for the whole fami-ly? Then, look no further than the ChamplainValley. The area is home to the Lake Cham-

plain Bikeways Network, consisting of biking trailsfrom as far north as the town of Chazy through theAdirondack Mountains and to historic Ticonderoga.

In the North Country, the Northern AdirondackCoast region is made up of seven trails that range indifficulty from a family ride to a ride for the more ex-perienced bicyclist.

In the town of Chazy, “The William H. Miner Sto-ry” is a 35.3-mile trail that starts at the Chazy Cen-

tral Rural School on Miner Farm Road, built byWilliam H. Miner, and adjacent to the Alice T. MinerMuseum. The town owes much of its history to theMiner family, who were well-known philanthropistswho settled in the town during the early 1900s. TheMiner Story trail continues through the cornfields,woodlands and pastures in Chazy and winds throughthe hamlet of Sciota, town of Altona, and town ofMooers before circling back.

“The Climber” is a 38-mile trail that begins atSaranac Elementary School on Picketts Corners

Road in the town of Saranac. The trail continuesthrough the hamlets of Clayburg, Standish and LyonMountain and by scenic Chazy Lake in the town ofDannemora on its way back to Saranac. This route in-volves more strenuous climbing around Lyon Moun-tain, which has an elevation of 3,820 ft.

The “Over the Hills and Far Away” trail stays trueto its name as it sees varying elevation along its 45.2-mile stretch, from 400 ft. to 1,500 ft. The loop beginsat the Plattsburgh town office building on BankerRoad and travels through the communities of Mor-risonville, Schuyler Falls, Peasleeville, Saranac andDannemora. There are also strenuous parts to thisride though there are several places to stop along theway to take in the history and beauty of ClintonCounty.

“The Flatlander” is a 21.1-mile ride that offers achange of pace — or, at least elevation — throughthe towns of Beekmantown and Chazy. The trail be-gins at the Point au Roche State Boat Launch andtravels across the Interstate via Spellman Road andthrough the communities of West Chazy and Ingra-ham. On the way back to the boat launch, there’seven an opportunity to stop by the park’s nature cen-ter.

Those seeking a much shorter ride will enjoy the“Point Au Roche Family Ride,” a 6.1-mile trail thatbegins at Point Au Roche State Park and travelsalong Lake Champlain.

Another trip for those up for a challenge is “Mon-uments, Mills and Music,” a 35.6-mile trail that startsin the heart of the city of Plattsburgh on DurkeeStreet and heads west. The trail takes riders throughMorrisonville, Saranac, Cadyville and West Platts-burgh before returning back to the city center. You’llpass monuments, see the sites where once-thrivingpaper mills and saw mills once stood and have achance to take in the local music scene once back inthe city. The name of the trail delivers what it prom-ises.

Last, but certainly not least, is “Acres of Apples,”a 24.4-mile trail that also stays true to its name. Thistrail begins at the ferry dock in Port Kent and trav-els through the town of Peru, where hundreds of ap-ple trees can be seen along the way. You also won’tbe able to miss the breathtaking view of AusableChasm on your way back.

With the west branch of the AuSable River winding throughand views of some of the highest Adirondack peaks in the dis-tance, Wilmington is an excellent place to enjoy the autumnscenery. While there, make sure to get around to some of themost spectacular natural wonders in the region.

The eight-passenger Cloudsplitter Gondola takes visitors tothe top of Little Whiteface in less than 15 minutes with scenicviews of ski trails, wooded areas, the Ausable River, the Adiron-dack High Peaks, and Lake Placid in the distance. At the sum-mit are an observation deck and picnic tables; the perfect placeto sit and enjoy one of the best mountain scenes in the Adiron-dacks.

The Veterans Memorial Highway is easily accessible off Route86 in Wilmington offering an easy drive to the top of the fifthhighest mountain in New York State. Park a the summit and tour

the castle, or take a short hike to the in-mountain elevator for atruly amazing 360-degree view of the Adirondack Park.

If high altitudes are a deterrent, there are still some spectac-ular sights to see from the valley. Wilmington is also home toHigh Falls Gorge, a year-round natural wonder that, for a smallfee, allows a close-up view of the AuSable River as it plungesthrough granite cliffs. Three sets of falls descend more than 75feet. A variety of paths offers everyone access to the beautifulview and photographic opportunities. The gorge closes its sum-mer season Oct. 25, but reopens for the winter months on Nov.28.

Just west of the village, towards Lake Placid, stop along Route86 to photograph more river-carved rock. “The Flume” is a com-pletely natural waterfall open to the public at no cost. Nearbytrails offer excellent lowland views without a lot of walking.

Enjoy waterfront beauty in the Northern TierThe beauty of Lake Champlain is an attraction visitors

come from miles to see and for some, there is no morepicturesque view along it than in the village of RousesPoint.

The small village, located in the northeastern cornerof New York State, borders the lake with sweeping viewsof the mountains of Vermont, located just minutes awayacross the Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge.

The village houses a pier and scenic pavilion wherepeople may be found sitting by the water on a daily ba-sis. The structures were part of a more than $1 millionproject which also included the development of a shore-line walkway and improvements to the neighboring vil-lage boat launch. The development shows a vested in-terest in inviting people to the community to enjoy all ithas to offer.

The pier is just steps away from the village’s down-town, where a slice of Americana can be found in therestaurants and other local businesses that await youthere.

In addition to its scenic views, the village is touted asbeing a natural gateway not only to Vermont, but toCanada as well.

The maze is open every Friday from 5-9p.m., every Saturday from 12-9 p.m., andevery Sunday from 12-5 p.m., with a few se-lect nights set aside as “Fright Nights.” Onthese nights, the maze is full of automatedmonsters and volunteers dressed up inscary costumes attempting to scare maze-goers.
