Vermont Road Map Travel Guide
New York State Line to Waitsfield (Junction of Hwy 100)
Recreation in the out-of-doors is equally varied in the summer season. State parks and privately operated campgrounds provide everything from wilderness tent sites to complete hook-ups for RVs. Streams, ponds and lakes invite bass and trout fishing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing and boating. Winding blacktop roads are ideal for touring by car, motorcycle, or bicycle. Mountain resorts offer chair-lift assist to hiking and mountain bike trails, or extensive facilities for tennis, golf and swimming.

The French built a wooden stockage in 1731, erecting Fort St. Frederic across the lake in 1734. After teh 1759 French retreat to Canada, the houses were burned, leaving only the chimneys and the name--Chimey Point. The British build a military road in 1759 to connect Fort No. 4 (Charletown, NH) to their new fort at Crown Point, NY; the road ended two miles to the south. They also build earthworks at Chimney Point, as did American Revolutionary forces in 1776. The tavern, built in the 1780s, was visited in 1791 by Thomas Jefferson and james Madison.
