We biked from the Waterfront to the end of the Causeway, this trail was awesome. Mostly paved then it turns into fine gravel, which was no problem for our road bike tires. We went in September so the trail wasn’t that crowded. Everyone observed the rules, we’re very friendly and just having a good time. The ride out to the end of the Causeway was beautiful! We will be back to ride it again.
Rented bikes at Local Motion in Burlington and road the 10 mile trail out onto the Colchester causeway,a path out into the lake. Really nice path, mostly flat, and several places along the route for rest stops and fitness stops along the path to add exercises to your bike or walk.
We started at the south end and went up to the ferry and turned around there. From what I could see on maps, there wasn’t much on the other side. We went on a warm day in the 80’s which was a good thing because there was quite a breeze over the causeway. I could see it being a bit chilly on a cooler day. It was busy for a Tuesday. Can’t imagine how busy a weekend could be. We encountered a lot of walkers along with bikers. Definitely highly recommend. There was a little beach bar we stopped at after we saw the sign on the pathway. Nice little beach, drinks and food was just ok.
Lots of bridges to cross, plenty of benches to stop and take a break more at the west end. Wish it was longer but still a very nice ride.
When riding out of the City of Burlington, Lake Champlain on your left with spectacular views of the Lake. Flat, easy ride, tree covered most of the trip till the Causeway. 7 miles from downtown. Causeway very unique. Wide enough for two bikes 3 miles into Lake Champlain then stops with a break in the causeway. Breathtaking views along the way !!! Can take a ferry to the north part of the causeway and can continue on. A total of 10 miles going out until the causeway break. Afterwards can celebrate with great food, drink and ice cream in downtown Burlington !!
Love riding this paved path along the river. Lots to see in nature and plenty of stopping point. Swimming even and refreshment sts ds for all taste
The whole trail is scenic. It's fairly flat and easy to ride. The section out to the causeway is absolutely stunning and it's a treat to hop on the bike ferry.
Rode the Saranac Lake to Lake Placid section. Great access on both ends. Trail is very well maintained. Beautiful scenery. Can’t wait for the other two sections to open.
If you want a quick jaunt through the woods on a gravel path this ride might be for you. Just a heads up that you will probably encounter a lot of pedestrians and dogs off of leashes. Ride accordingly. The best part of this trail for me was a quick stop where it meets the lakeshore. Not a bad ride overall but on the shorter side
We rode from Oxbow Riverfront Park (plenty of parking, bathroom) in Morrisville to Cambridge Junction. Round trip about 34 miles. The surface was perfect for our dual sport bikes. Compact smooth gravel. Lost Nation brewery is on the path about a mile from Oxbow. Nice place to have a beer after.
The trail is not that developed, lots of narrow double track with grass in between. Would be better on a mountain bike
