Causeway Park — Attraction in Colchester

My friend showed me this beautiful area when we were visiting Burlington. I have been in Colchester numerous times over the past 12 years, but never came here!

We came about 1 hour before sunset on a hot day in early summer, so it was quite buggy. I'd recommend wearing long pants and sleeves if you can or bring bug spray!

Parking was pretty easy and we were able to find a spot quickly.

It was a bit of a walk to get out to Lake Champlain, I'd say about 10 minutes, but it's totally worth it for the views.

Once we got out to the water, it was great to walk along the path with the water on each side. I just love seeing the lake and the mountains in this beautiful state! This spot was very peaceful and serene.

This would be an amazing spot to visit in...

I may be wrong, but I think the ferry is free, however they need donations to help run the service. Definitely worth a trip out whether on bikes or foot. If on a bike, beware of a few places that got washed out. Sometimes you have to pull over to...
