To the north (downstream), the Lake is quite wide. The mountains in the background are the eastern edge of the Adirondacks.

Upstream (to the south), the Lake is also wide until you reach Fort Ticonderoga (on the New York side) and Mount Independence (in Vermont), where the lake again narrows.

However, between Crown Point and Chimney Point, the lake is VERY narrow.

Immediately above and below the present bridge, the lake widens out very rapidly.

Le fort St-Frédéric, built by the French during the Ancien Régime, was the first fort on the point. Its design is unique in North America.

The fort was destroyed during the building of the later English fort and all that remains are earthen ramparts, lower perimeter walls and building foundations.

It was Tuesday and the visitor centre (the only place where one can get a walking guide) was closed. Doesn't ALL the world close down on Tuesdays???

The visitor centre is on ground which commands the site of Fort Frédéric. This path takes us up to the site of the later British fort, on the highest point of all.

The path up takes us to the southeast corner of the fort. Note the high perimeter wall and the deep moat, from whence much of the stone to build the fort was quarried.

Along the south wall, a section has been levelled to permit entrance. This was NOT an original feature of the fort.

The parade ground is very large - but the fort was intended to be garrisoned by as many as three thousand men!

The cutting at the back left is tghe fort's main entrance. It leads to what was once a bridge over the dry moat and must have been much narrower, and with steeper sides, than is now the case.

The buildings were very impressive, with huge fireplaces. This windswept plateau must have been a dreadful place in a winter storm!

The massive chimneys have fireplaces on all three floors. Only a few years after the first two barracks were complete, fire spread from one of these to destroy both buildings.

View toward the narrows from the top of the perimeter wall near the well. The remains of Fort St-Frédéric are visible on this side of the end of the bridge. Notice how the English fort commands both the narrows and the lower land on which the French fort once stood, itself on top of a steep slope above the lakeside.
