Abbe Picquet Trail

 Abbe Picquet Trail makes a loop through the site of Fort de la Presentation which was built in 1749 as a mission fort to covert and make allies of the Iroquois. Interpretive signs on the history of the fort are clustered around the base of a tall monument. 

The trail is about a mile long and level. It's surfaced with gravel and the main loop is accessible. A boardwalk that makes a small loop off the trail does not met the ground at one end but the other end is a fine. A peninsula sticks out into the river past the lighthouse which is private property. The peninsula trail is not accessible due to large gravel.

     

The parking lot is small. Short RVs can be parked face in but longer RVs will have to be parked across the spaces. It may be possible to park near the monument in the gravel and grass lot used during special events. Trail  44.69424, -75.5034
