Imagine a path built out of large chunks of marble, rock and dirt that are high enough to literally allow you to walk on water. That path is formally known as Colchester Causeway Park and this is absolutely the best bike path in all of Northern Vermont! It is so unique. This particular stretch of the packed gravel path takes you right out into lake makes you feel like you are biking or walking on water. The view is spectacular. You can take in all of the natural beauty of Vermont, the lake and mountain views surround you.

Because it is so flat kids of all ages can bike/walk it with ease. Or you could push them in a jogging stroller or tote them behind you in a burlee. Not much, if any shade at all, so remember your sunscreen. And lots of snacks and water!...more

This is a GREAT way to spend time this summer! We decided to opt for the short route by parking on Mills Point Rd. Not only was the recommendation and site's instructions to get there *perfect* and made it so easy, but the experience was so fantastic! My two 9-year-olds rode the trail out to the ferry stopping point (no ferry yet!) with ease, my 6-year-old did it and it was a stretch/work for her, but she was completely able. Butterflies were flying everywhere, we saw very large turtles soaking up the sun on logs on the way out, and the large marble boulders on the sides were the perfect size to lay on while we snacked and re-fueled. A bonus: I ran the thing while my kids rode their bikes, so I got a workout in too! Round trip running time was 58 minutes - hey, I was keeping up with my youngest! - and overall was about 1 1/2 hours since we headed back due to a Thunderstorm rolling in. This was a great way to kick off the summer. Bring: sunscreen, it's largely open; food and water; if nature calls, you may want to pack some t.p. since there are no amenities around...and I recommend a stop on the way back into Burlington at the Burlington Bay Market for the best Cremee's going!...more

With the lake on both sides of you it's a unique and beautiful biking (or walking) experience! Local Motion has operated a bike ferry across the causeway opening during summer weekends, which lets you bike all the way to South Hero! Check Local Motion for ferry schedule, it changes each year.

We usually just park in the lot mentioned above and take the path out to the causeway. Great for cooling off on hot summer days (many places to jump in the lake) or an easy stroll (very flat) to get some exercise and take in the beautiful views of the lake and mountains. An absolute VT gem.
