BEACHES

Burlington is home to miles of scenic beaches along Lake Champlain.

Soak up the sun, play in the sand, and watch the sun set over Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks. All our beaches are accessible from the Burlington Greenway.

Oakledge Park features two beaches:
Blanchard Beach is at the South End
of Burlington, located off of Flynn
Avenue; Oakledge Cove features
scenic rocky outcroppings, perfect
for catching a sunset. This park also
has picnic tables, a universally
accessible playground and seasonal
bathrooms.
