The Burlington Area

Nestled on the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain—with stunning views of the Adirondack Mountains across the water—Burlington is regularly listed on "Top Ten" lists of America's best communities in which to live and visit. Nationally renowned for the strengths of its performing and visual arts communities, Burlington is also a center for outdoor recreation, including swimming, boating, and water sports on Lake Champlain; a seven-mile bike and walking path along the lakeshore; and hiking and skiing in the famed Green Mountains just 45 minutes away.
