Lake Champlain Bikeways
3 reviews for Lake Champlain Bikeways
The Lake Champlain Bike Path is a awesome gift to the area. Started by Gov. Howard Dean, this path I will say starts in Burlington on the Lake Champlain waterfront and goes north all the way into Quebec and then back down into New York, into Franklin County all the way to Whitehall. Then back north into Vergennes, VT and back to Burlington.
I however have only biked and roller bladed a limited section of the bike path, it is one of my favorite spots in Burlington. It has gorgeous views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains in the background. The view at sunset is especially spectacular! It is used also by walkers, joggers, dog walkers, and cross country skiers in the winter months.
A wonderful must do when in the area.

This bike path is great. You can rent a bike for the day from Loco Motion right on the path, near downtown. It is paved for most of the way until you get past airport park and want to go on the causeway. If you do go this way, it is awesome because it is only a bike path (i.e. no cars) and you can go way out to the point where you have the lake on either side of you. You can only go so far because they have a break in the causeway so the ships can go through, in August there is a boat supposedly that will take you across, but it would be nice if we could cross over easily. If you go from the center of town with the lake on your right you will come to the sundial (see pics) which is cool. I do wish there were more bathrooms and water fountains.

This is such a great bike path. I have spent alot of time walking my dog or skateboarding on the path. It is great around Burlington as there are many spots between the waterfront and North Beach. Its very fun to walk along it and find adventures on the way. Right next to the lake. A safe and healthy way to travel. So much fun. I cant wait till its warm so I can go for a adventure!!! YAY
