We hired bikes from Local Motion who were very good and right on the bike path. We went a couple of miles each way from there and stopped off at Oakledge beach ( ?) one way which was quiet and deserted and North beach the other way which was packed full but still great fun, the views were superb with...

This is a fun bike path. You can take a one or two mile bike, or a 20 mile ride. It is mostly flat. There is pretty good parking at the bottom of Main St., and more at a few other waterfront locations. From the path you can see the lake and views of the Adirondacks in New York. There...

Great place to run or bike. Anywhere in Champlain Valley is a great place to bike.

I love to bike and also walk up and down the bike path....It is so relaxing and beautiful place to just ride your bike and relax after a long day at work. It runs at least 7 miles each way (the easily accessible part of the path) and has some great views of the lake.

I liked the view of the lake but felt I had to always keep my eyes directly in front of me due to debris and breaks in the path. It's not wide enough for travelers to pass each other comfortably. Occasional moments of panic riding my road bike when suddenly a stretch of gravel would show up! I came from...

We sometimes stop in downtown Burlington for lunch but often stop at Waterfront Park to enjoy what ever is going on there. The Dragonboat...

If you want to enjoy the lake while in the city, the Bike Path is the place to head out on. There are several bike shops that provide rentals. Many people also enjoy it while walking, as does their 4 legged fur pals.

Park it at Leddy Park (or on a side street to save entrance fees) and off you go. Stop for food along the path. Burlington Bay for best cremees in area for dessert. Burlington is putting money into the path to repair damage from flood, etc, so it might be messy for awhile. Remember to tell walkers "on your left"...

It's not always easy to follow the path, at least on the south end, but overall it is a great feature for the community.
