Button Point is a peninsula on Lake Champlain featuring a rocky shore entry. The site is characterised by limestone bedrock containing 450-million-year-old fossils, which snorkelers can observe along the underwater ledges. Depths at this location start at one metre and vary as the terrain drops off. Due to the rocky entry and variable conditions, this site is best suited for intermediate snorkelers. Facilities available at the site include parking, toilets, and showers, with guided tours also offered for those interested in exploring the area.
