Welcome to Rock Point!

Rock Point is a small property located in Burlington, VT. Near the Rock Point School, on land owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont, Rock Point is on a peninsula with the Burlington bike path and North Beach nearby.

Rock Point is a diverse landscape. It contains many trails, that lead anywhere from rocky ledges that look out over Lake Champlain to the Parade Ground meadow to the exposed thrust fault, which showcases Vermont's geology. Rock Point also contains many interesting man-made sites, such as an Outdoor Chapel.




For our community outreach project, we helped map the map trails that run throughout the property. Our project objectives were to create more comprehensive trail maps for Rock Point. We decided to create two maps; one for Rock Point property management, which held details of the condition of the trails and our recommendations, and one for visitors to Rock Point, which was a more comprehensive map containing all of the trails and important sites.
