Dogs are allowed but must be on leash. Lots of people fishing! In the beginning there were a lot of people walking but as we were getting close to the end of the hike we didn't see anyone. Check this spot out! Its fun, easy and a good way to spend some time outside this summer!

On lovely Lake Champlain, the park possesses northeastern prettiness that could be offensive to haters. Sailboats. Bike paths. Attractive people pretending not to notice sunsets. And, there is always... A jogger. Someone reading poetry or prose. A couple sharing a blanket in a way that says they likely use summering as a verb. Burlington occasionally leans performative crunchy. Waterfront Park itself remains kinda immune to that. Open. Calm. Genuinely beautiful. It is the kind of place you might hear conversations about niche wine bars or an old-money family friend's lake house where everyone wears cashmere beside open water. Go around sunset. Bring something overpriced in a tote. Stare at the water as though you have inherited generational property disputes in coastal Maine. Perfect evening, darliiiiiiiiing.

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.

My…read morewife, two teenage sons, mini-poodle, and I came here in July 2024 on a hot summer day to cool off for an hour. Lots of pluses. First, it has a wide receiving pool area that is conducive to large groups and is more kid-friendly than other swimming holes (such as Warren Falls). Second, parking is generally available on the side of the road above the falls. You can descend along the second pathway down which is less steep than the first pathway. Third, dogs with a leash are allowed in the area. Would strongly recommend bringing water shoes (river shoes) if you don't like the pain of multiple rocks on your bare feet. Also, it tends to be a bit more quiet from 3pm-4pm, but got crowded when we departed at 5pm. Overall, this is a great place to experience a swimming hole in Vermont - especially if you are staying nearby in Burlington, VT.

Captain Scotty of Champlain Islands Magical Boat Tours took my dear high school friend and me on…read morethe most enchanting adventure imaginable. We were already having a marvelous time during my biennial visit from Toledo, Ohio, but Captain Scotty whisked my friend, me, and my vacation straight into the realm of magic and folklore. As we glided along the sparkling waters of Lake Champlain, Captain Scotty regaled us with the most wonderful stories. From history to geography, legends to delightful fun facts, every tale became even more captivating when delivered in his glorious, genuine Scottish accent. By the end of the tour, I started to wonder if he stepped straight from the pages of a storybook into the captain's seat of his boat! Captain Scotty's love for Lake Champlain is as vast as its waters, and his knowledge of its history, mysteries, and hidden treasures seems almost wizard-like in its depth. His affection for people is evident from the very moment he welcomes you aboard, making you feel less like a passenger and more like an old friend joining him on an adventure. But the real magic happens when he steers toward one of Champ's favorite hangouts. The twinkle in his eye rivals Santa's on Christmas Eve as he scans the water in search of the legendary Lake Champlain sea monster. Captain Scotty seems every bit as eager to introduce you to his old -- though unfortunately elusive -- friend as you are to catch a glimpse for yourself. And if Champ chooses to remain shy that day, no matter. You'll leave the boat convinced that the real magic of Lake Champlain was aboard with you all along. Thank you for a truly marvelous tour Captain Scotty!  Diane Reckley Toledo, OH

We got there, and was very disappointed that they did not have cable hookup. My family likes to watch the news for the weather, plus i wanted to watch the last episode of Claim to fame which premiered monday. Anyways also we arrived and they put us near the lake, and we are a long trailer, and was concerned on where to park our car. So they moved us in a spot that worked. We also got a little refund as well. in the front, there is a general store, and they also sell sandwiches and coffee. On August 29th, i brought a lake champlain shirt there, and the people inside were very nice. Overall it is a small campground, and it does look like some kind of trailer park. However, it seemed pretty quiet and everyone seemed friendly that we seen. They also have a pool but did not go in the pool as it was kind of cool. Also there is not much things to do in vermont, including close by. Although we did stop by the blue paddle bistro. Don't think we'll visit vermont again, but this was a nice quiet campground.

What's better is that after driving through the RV park to get to "the range," we were told we had to wear collared shirts to hit balls six feet into a net while standing next to a parking lot.

Guy on phone was nice, it's a cool looking community, but just saying the website is misleading and the adherence to some sort of country club dress code is hilarious and absurd.
