Visit on November 5th, 2022

By: Amelia Weeden

Visiting Rock Point this past Saturday was a completely different, yet gorgeous, experience from my last visit. The trees were barren, and the paths there were covered in fallen leaves. It was extremely windy, but surprisingly quiet. With the exception of a few other visitors and the sound of the wind on the lake, there truly wasn’t a lot of noise being produced. The main difference in the phenology of my spot was by far the bareness of the trees. Looking out you had a much clearer view of other parts of the lake, as leaves weren’t interfering with your vantage point.
