Lone Rock Point is behind Burlington High School. We parked the bus, then made a short hike on some beautiful trails down to the lake. This is a site that people from all over the world come to because they are able to see an interesting geological phenomenon. In this spot, due to the Champlain Thrust Fault, younger rock (Dunham Dolomite) is actually on top of older rock (Iberville Shale). This defies the Law of Superposition. Pretty cool--AND your fourth grader should be able to explain that to you (just in case YOU are not a geologist!).
