Hawkins Bay - Imagery — FluidState Consulting, LLC

The images below were obtained on May 12, 2020 following a rain storm that swept across much of northern Vermont. FluidState Consulting flew an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV or drone) to create these images (the panorama is stitched together using three separate frames). Two takeoff points were used. The first was the Lewis Creek fishing access. The second was from the Kingsland Bay State Park.
