A wonderful asset to the city of Burlington. We visited in the middle of May, and it was not too crowded. There were a lot of bikers, joggers and walkers but there's room for everyone. Great views..... what an awesome way to use an old railroad bed. Most enjoyable all around.

The Burlington Bike Path is now called the Island Line Bike Trail (although signs still say Burlington Bike Path). It starts off paved and meanders along the eastern shore of Lake Champlain. The views are beautiful. We rode the path off-season in late May and it was very quiet. I imagine the summer months bring more tourists and gets very...

This bike path is perfect for EVERYONE - and EVERYONE uses it, which, on a summer weekend, can be a challenge if you want to get your speed on.
NOTE that ALL REPAIRS to the existing line have been done and as of May 1 2013 (my last visit) everything is paved and ready for use. ALSO they are bringing...

We rented bicycles and enjoyed the beautiful views from the Burlington bike path. The path itself does need some new pavement in several places but is certainly rideable on any type of bike.

This is among the centers of recreational activity around the waterfront area. the bike path stays very busy. Good for bikers, walkers, roller bladers, skate boarders, etc. It is mostly flat, and and is a very manageable distance if you wan to go "all the way".

Path is in good condition and offers pretty lake views in many places. Can be a bit congested with mixed use of joggers, walkers, dogs, kids, etc -- so not...

Beautiful, but a bit choppy at times- my go to bike ride. Love to ride here at sunset- can get a bit crowded.

We took our bikes for a long ride and had a blast. It's a well made, wide path that is utilized by many people of various modes of moving along! Highly recommended!

Burlington Bike Path runs right along Lake Champlain, where you can almost reach over and touch the water, and then ride high through several beaches, eat a hamburg at Charlie's Auer's Boathouse, and then up and over the Winooski River, into other bike trails that will take you out onto Lake Champlain on the old RR track for the best...
