The Abbe Picquet Walking Trail is a world class historic site that features the location of Fort La Presentation, a French colonial fort, Fort Oswegatchie, a British revolutionary war fort, and Fort Van Rensselaer, a War of 1812, American fort.

Not much left from the fort. Only a few wall bases left and a few wood logs here and there. However, the walk around the whole site is interesting and fun. Lots of historical facts to read about. You could do the whole site in about 30-45min.
