About Burlington
Burlington is Vermont's biggest city but it still feels like a small town. It sits right on Lake Champlain. The waterfront has a bike path, parks, and views across to the Adirondacks. UVM and a few colleges give it a young, outdoorsy vibe. People run, bike, and kayak here. In winter you're close to the mountains for skiing; in summer the lake and the trails in the hills around town are the main draw. A lot of visitors use Burlington as a base and then drive out to hiking trails, swimming holes, or quieter spots in the rest of the state. The places on this page are what the community has actually posted from in and around town.

Plan your visit
Use the map to see where each spot is relative to downtown and the lake. A lot of people do a mix: something on the waterfront or the bike path, plus one hike or swim a bit farther out. Reading the community notes helps. Some spots are quick stops; others are half day trips. If you're only in Burlington for a day or two, pick a couple that match how much time you want to spend outside and how far you're willing to drive.
If you live here or visit often and have a spot that isn't on the list yet, add it. Burlington has a lot of regulars who know the good trails and the quiet corners. Sharing those makes the map more useful for everyone.
