Rock Point, a 94-acre natural area in Burlington, Vermont, is renowned for its dramatic limestone cliffs along Lake Champlain and rich biodiversity and features a recently restored trail system, including stone staircases, boardwalks, and overlooks, offering visitors opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying panoramic views of the lake and surrounding landscapes. Notably, Rock Point showcases the Champlain Thrust Fault, a significant geological feature displaying 400-million-year-old bedrock formations. Public access is permitted with a free trail pass, and visitors are encouraged to follow guidelines to protect the area's sensitive ecological zones. Due to limited on-site parking, it's recommended to park at nearby locations like Leddy Park and access the trails via the Burlington Bike Path.
