The Colchester Causeway is a 3-mile stretch of one of the most beautiful trails in Vermont. Surrounded by water on either side, you get the sensation of gliding over the water in a magical place. Whether you bike, walk, or jog, this will be one of your favorite paths in Vermont.
Are you ready for the ride of your life?

Riding on the causeway is like flying over the water.
Facebook/Randy Violette The bike trail is along the shore of Champlain and there are gorgeous lake views for much of it - and the end is a narrow causeway that is out of this world.
This bike path is perfect for everyone.

Perfect lunch spot.

Enjoy a couple of glorious miles.
Facebook/Randy Violette With water on either side, it’s hard to make the entire 3 miles without stopping to take in the beauty of Lake Champlain.
As well as the mountain views.
Facebook/Randy Violette After all, it wouldn’t be Vermont without the mountains!
The sunsets are fantastic.
Facebook/Randy Violette There is so much to see and enjoy along the route.

A completely manageable ride.

The Causeway gap.
