Alerts and Important Information NOTE: The closure of the Lake Champlain Bridge at Crown Point has necessitated the development of temporary facilities at the Crown Point Public Campground to accommodate Ferry Service. It is anticipated that this project will impact some of the users of the Crown Point Public Campground. Effective immediately, a closure is in place for Sites 001 through 010, and the public's use of the boat launch will be temporarily impacted. Those wishing to launch boats will need to locate other options, such as those available at Ticonderoga and Port Henry.
