Granite Steps

Highlight • Structure

The Burlington Greenway Path has undergone a stunning transformation, and these Barre granite steps are a beautiful addition to the rehabilitation of the city's trail system. These steps not only provide easy access to the water, but also serve as a popular spot to take a break and enjoy the breathtaking scenery up close.

Burlington Greenway – North Beach Section

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

From this section of the Burlington Greenway you can enjoy views of the North Beach, right off the path. If you want to stop for a break, it's a good spot for a swim or picnic. It has a sandy shoreline, restrooms, and a snack bar in summer. It can get crowded on weekends, but the lake views make it a worthwhile stop.

Colchester/Burlington bridge

Highlight • Bridge

We were looking for a access to the water abs a place to rest. Just before the bridge on the side to Burlington there is a little park, kayak drop, fishing area. Doesn't face the lake but is still very peaceful and pretty.

Winooski River Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This cool bridge on the Island Line Trail passes over the Winooski River and offers great views up and down the waterway. This is a pretty wide bridge and is pretty popular for picture taking.

Burlington Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The Burlington Greenway is an 8-mile paved path that hugs the Lake Champlain shoreline, offering stunning water and mountain views. It links downtown Burlington with parks, beaches, and neighborhoods. Don’t miss the northern stretch along the causeway and the seasonal bike ferry to the Champlain Islands. This section includes a boardwalk with signs advising cyclists not to ride, due to the narrow space and high pedestrian traffic.
