Burlington is Vermont's largest city with a population of around 43,000. It is home to University of Vermont and Champlain College. Church Street Marketplace is a downtown pedestrian mall with over 100 shops, art galleries, and restaurants. More than 70% of the businesses are locally owned.
Just to the west of the marketplace along the Lake Champlain shoreline is Waterfront Park. The Burlington Bike Path runs along its eastern border. In the park there are a community boathouse, a sailing center, and a museum. Along the promenade there are benches and swings under trees providing a cool relaxing place to sit and enjoy the views of the lake.
Here are some photos of Burlington Waterfront Park...

The park had some info on the rail line bike path. It begins south of the waterfront.

Grand Isle State Park is north of our campground on the island. We went there looking for a walking/hiking path. We found one but it was only 1 mile long. It was a pretty, shady walk.
No visit to Vermont would be complete without a visit to Ben & Jerry's. We stumbled across their creamery on the way to Stowe to buy beer. Mmmm! Delicious!

| Wha!!? Ben & Jerrys ice cream caused me to grow cow ears!!! |
In the Stowe/Waterbury area we saw the sign below, but did not see a moose!
On September 16 we left Apple Island RV Resort on Grand Isle, Vermont and headed to our next destination, Twin Mountain, New Hampshire. We'll miss Vermont...
