Con Robinson's Point is the first picnic site on the Liberty Point Drive. Here, evidence of past glaciation, perhaps as recently as 12,000-14,000 years ago, is well exposed. The tops of the rusty-colored outcrops were smoothed and polished by the scouring action of glacial ice. Glacial deposits of sand and gravel play an important role in shaping impressions of the Park. Their textural and color differences present a striking contrast to the hard, polished surfaces of the bedrock. This great diversity, displayed by the rocks in the deposits and beach sediments, is silent testimony to glacial processes that worked across great distances and over many rock types. Picnic tables, steps to a fine beach, and an excellent view of the Wolf Islands are found at Con Robinson's Point.
