Thanks to our dedicated members, we have conserved 30 public access natural areas. Our close-to-home hiking trails, islands, and overlooks provide much-needed sources of solitude, inspiration, and rejuvenation.
From the ridgetop vistas at Niquette Bay State Park to the fossil-rich discovery areas at Goodsell Ridge to the sandy beach at Rossetti Beach Natural Area, our free natural areas offer something for everyone. For more information and driving directions to these and our other Champlain Valley hiking areas, check out our Places to Hike and Paddle page.
We often host naturalist-led hikes at our protected natural areas. If you would like to be the first to know about our upcoming events and hikes, sign up to receive our E-Newsletter.
