About the Park

Management strategies at Niquette Bay work to support the vision of the park as an oasis for appreciating nature. The park’s 584 acres feature 6-1/2 miles of well-maintained hiking trails and 4700 feet of scenic rocky and sandy shore on the north side of Malletts Bay. Trails weave through diverse natural communities, over a sandy plain, and along limestone ridges with impressive vistas of Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks.

The park is open year-round for the public’s use and enjoyment with a modest entry fee from early May until Indigenous Peoples' Day in October.
