8. Description
The Champlain Lookout sits atop the Eardley escarpment, assumed to be an extension of the Eardley Fault system, which developed about 175 million years ago. Sedimentary rocks of Paleozoic age were preserved in the down-dropped block of the Ottawa Valley, while equivalent rocks have been removed by erosion on this side of the fault. Here, Precambrian rocks are exposed.
We will begin our trip from the parking lot close to Keogan Cabin on Lac Fortune Parkway, then walk on Trail 1 to the west until we reach the Champlain Trail loop. We then head back to the starting point.
