Burlington is a vibrant, bustling city on the shores of Lake Champlain, nestled between the Green Mountains to the east and the Adirondacks in the west. Burlington has been rated one of the top places to live for families, young people, and outdoor enthusiasts. Home to the University of Vermont and four smaller colleges, Burlington draws thousands of students each year.
Burlington is considered one of the most walkable cities in the country. With fabulous mountain and water views from just about anywhere, it’s no wonder people are itching to get out and enjoy a walk. The 7.5 mile Burlington Bike-Path allows travelers to get from one end of town to the other without ever pedaling in traffic. The trail runs along the beautiful waterfront, and is a perfect route for families and children.
Summers here are spent on gorgeous Lake Champlain, with opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming.
