PICNIC SPOTS WE LOVE
Find a great sit spot. Once you’ve found a great sit spot, grab a pal or two, pack a picnic, and munch away as you enjoy the views.
WATERFRONT PARK
Located along the Lake Champlain shoreline, there is no better place to take in the views while enjoying a tasty packed lunch. You have options at Waterfront Park: sit on the big rocks next to the lake, on the boardwalk, the swinging benches, or set up in the spacious grass that wraps around the lake.
OVERLOOK PARK
This 1.7 acre park is located on the west side of Spear Street. Known for its scenic views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains, Overlook Park is a perfect picnic spot which, rumor has it, tastes even better during sunset.

NORTH BEACH
North Beach is Burlington’s largest beach, and it gives you perfect access to BBQ grills and picnic tables. After good food and drink, cool off with a jump in the lake.
MT. PHILO STATE PARK
Get moving! Start your excursion with a 1-mile hike to the top of Mt. Philo trail near Charlotte, Vermont. Take a seat in one of the Adirondack chairs, unpack your picnic, and take in the views.

OAKLEDGE PARK
Located in the South End of Burlington, Oakledge Park is home to two beach areas, Blanchard Beach and the Cove. A quieter option than North Beach, you can still make use of BBQ grills, picnic tables, and lots of grassy space to enjoy.
A GENTLE REMINDER
While you’re exploring our lovely state and enjoying your packed lunches, be sure you aren’t leaving a trace! Keep our natural spaces clean by checking for any trash you might leave behind or, better yet, pack a picnic up in reusable bags and containers.
