Directions and Park Information:

Rallying together to preserve Lake Champlain's highest peak, the Open Space Institute, Lake Champlain Land Trust, Adirondack Nature Conservancy and the Keene Valley Land Trust, saved Split Rock Mountain- the largest remaining tract of private property on the Lake- from auction in 1993. Cherished for its wilderness, high mountain peak, endangered species, and historical significance in the French and Indian War, Split Rock Mountain is undoubtedly one of the single most important acquisitions the State of New York has made to protect and increase public lands in the Adirondack Park.

Split Rock Mountain is one of 40 properties saved by the Lake Champlain Land Trust.  Over the past 25 years the Land Trust has preserved thousands of acres and miles of shoreline on Lake Champlain. For information on becoming a member visit our website www.LCLT.org!

Split Rock Mountain is most easily accessed by canoe, across the Lake from Thompson Point in Vermont. The State of New York is currently working to improve the trails and access by car.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation manages this 2,000 acre conservation area.  Trails can be accessed from five coves on the Lake Champlain Paddlers Trail.  These campsites also offer offer primitive camping and scenic paddling.
