About this park

A grassy fenced dog park sitting along the Lake Champlain bike path with sweeping lake and mountain views. Separate large-dog and small-dog enclosures sit next to a fitness station, about a half-mile walk from the nearest parking near the skate park. Reviewers single out the scenery as the main draw, but come prepared: there's no water and almost no shade.

Before you go

Park near the skate park and follow the bike path north about two minutes to reach the fenced area. Bring your own water and poop bags; the dispenser is often empty, and the lake isn't a safe drinking source due to summer algae blooms.
