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.

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.

Texaco Beach

Texaco Beach offers a one-of-a-kind running experience in Burlington as the city's only dog beach open year-round. Prepare for an entertaining run along the lakeshore as you observe dogs gleefully splashing and playing in Lake Champlain. The joyful canine company will bring a smile to your face and boost your mood as you log scenic miles along the water's edge.
