    Waterfront Park - Ahoy sailors! Great day to sail!

    Waterfront Park

    (38 reviews)

    Check out what is probably the best park in Burlington. It sits next to the water obviously…read more Waterfront Park offers great views of Lake Champlain among other things. Great for getting a bit of exercise. There's lots to do around here as far as entertainment such as the ECHO Leahy Center, along with bars, restaurants, and stuff. Big park along the lake is a great way to describe it. It's conveniently located close to the Amtrak station. This is also close to the ECHO Leahy Center science museum, so it's close to lots of things. Has a lot of great views of the water and everything. Lots of room for dogs to run around and whatever. A bike path goes through it. This makes a great ride for those wanting to get some views. A few benches for those needing a breather. There's an ice cream place that's open in summer. Of course it's by the lake. There's not a beach but you can walk along it though. Has a lot of great things in and around it. It's a pretty big park and it's not crowded usually. There's lots of rooms for biking, walking, and whatever.

    This park is the stuff of my Rockwellian dreams. Next to the water? Check. Huge beautiful lawns…read morewith families and dogs enjoying the day? Check. Place to walk arm in arm with the person you love? Check. Benches, including bench swings(!!!), to enjoy the views of the lake and the Adirondacks? Check. Cremees, also known as soft serve? CHECK!!! Our Airbnb was at one end of this park so we decided to walk to the other end. It's not the longest walk but it's full of gorgeous views and little spots to sit and observe life. We wanted to get an ice cream at the end to walk back to our place with but ended up checking out the aquarium/museum before heading back. Lovely, lovely way to spend the afternoon. Being from Vegas, where the drought has hit us hard, it was just magic to be able to take off my shoes and socks and walk through the thick, luscious grass. Made me feel like a kid again.

    Okay, I love, love, love Maple Street Park. I have two young children and this is definitely one…read moreof our favorite places to hang out. I love the ratio of equipment for the age of my kids--plenty of baby/toddler swings and slides. Also little rocking ride on equipment. The only thing that could make it a little better for us would be a swing for special needs kids as my older daughter can't sit safely in a regular swing due to her needs. But we make do with what is there very nicely :) The grounds are super well kept and part of a larger park which includes a baseball and soccer (I think) field. I am kind of obsessed with the beautiful flower garden that they have in the parking lot. I would love to be able to steal their gardener for a day to help me make something similar. There is a pool as well with a waterslide. We've never actually used the pool but it very popular and always crowded. There is also a skate park for older kids which is really cool. At least it looks cool--I don't know the first think about skateboarding. I am always impressed by how respectful the skaters seem to be about safety rules. It looks like a lot of fun. Anyhow, this is a really nice park with great shade on hot days. There are always lots of super friendly people there to chat with as well.

    I love this park…read more It is beautiful. It is clean and well kept. I remember coming here after school with a few hours to waste, would buy snacks on the way and just lazy around enjoying the sunshine. What a life, it really just makes me so happy. Coming here again brings back good memories.

    Ausable Chasm, NY - billing itself as "the Grand Canyon of the Adirondacks" is a shamelessly…read moreambitious boast for an attraction that I'd more accurately describe as Watkins Glen with the consumer interface of Bushkill Falls, but there's no denying Ausable Chasm is a fun, scenic, and daring adventure for all ages! We came during the off season at the end of April, before the more high thrills activities like rafting & tubing, riverwalk, Via Ferrata adventure trail, rappelling, rock climbing, etc. were open for the season (usually around late-May to June through autumn). That was no problem as we are visiting with our toddler who isn't old enough to do most of these activities anyway, and, as we discovered, it was actually perfect and to our advantage, since as first-time visitors we only wanted/had time to explore the chasm itself. And as there were very few other visitors on a weekday, it was as if we had this private park all to ourselves! No need to jostle for views/photos, can enjoy lunch & snacks at the best picnic tables by vista points, and it's also more pleasant than hiking in hot summer, though many of the trails are shaded. The basic "trails only" admission is about $20 for adults & teens, $12 for kids 5-12, and free for under 5. All the other activities have additional fees, which can add up so you might explore packages, or even stay overnight at their campground & cabins. We are a family of hikers so wanted to do the whole perimeter and see the entire gorge (about 2 miles). But if you only wish to see the exciting parts and leave time for other activities, then you can turn back halfway and do the shorter loop (1 mile if you do the Inner Sanctum Trail which I 100% recommend as this is the "signature" trail along the canyon's edge. But note it has many stairs up & down). We took the Inner Sanctum (yellow) trail, crossed over to Big Dry Chasm and hiked to the Whirlpool Basin Overlook at other end, then looped back around on the orange trail via Little Dry Chasm. The trails are well maintained, with most of the outer edge trails on comfortable soft padded ground. They're mostly well marked except the end part is not really shown clearly on the park map so I used AllTrails. The orange trail (Dry Chasm Trail) is marked as more difficult, but it's basically just a regular wooded hiking trail that's not paved, with rooty and rocky sections. The park is very walkable for most able-bodied people. Even our 3yo was able to hike the whole thing by himself, with a bit of help over the orange trails. We loved our visit and are excited to come back when our child is older to do more activities! Will update my review when we've had a chance to experience all the action-packed adventures the park has to offer. TIP #1: No trail maps are given out so take a photo ar a screenshot. But there are maps placed along the trails marked with where you are. TIP #2: Porta-potties only on either end of the trails, so I recommend taking your nature break before setting out. TIP #3: There's a cafe by the Welcome Center but it's only open seasonally. Bring water. No garbage bins along the trails (cos bears!) so trash is carry-in carry-out.

    This place is the best. Great for families. Do the explorer package with river walk...ropes…read morebridges are awesome. Boat is mild, it's not white water rafting. Very safe. Go here and enjoy!
