I would have liked to walk the path and seen the beach, but because of Jazz Fest they closed the path. I was very disappointed because I was not there for the Jazz Fest.

This is a nice area on the shore of Lake Champlain with lots to do and downtown Burlington a couple of blocks away and nearby. You can walk for about a mile along the shoreline and bring a picnic in the warm weather. In the winter, there are many excellent restaurants nearby too. Go.

An excellent place to take in the breathtaking scenery. It's family friendly, romantic for couples, and simply tranquil for a solitary moment. It was a pleasant break from our wandering Burlington and a fine opportunity to reconnect with each other.

Once the weather warms up, this place starts to get crazy busy. Waterfront park is spacious and great for walkers, dog walkers, people watchers, frisbee throwers, picnic-ers, or anyone that just wants to run around the spacious wide area with the kids and family. It is close enough to the water to be able to enjoy the lake with easy... More

I visited this park with my wife, cousin and his wife. The views, budding trees and flowers were beautiful. It is a great place to take a walk.

Lots of activity by the water. The Echo Center was a fun little "to do". Nice deli style place at the top of the hill overlooking Echo. Can't remember the name of it.
