From the reviews
It's a nice small park with some good views of the lake champalin. Could be a bit busy during the day but good place for an evening walk, or even a picnic, which we did! The highlight was the sunset!
Nice walk all along the water. Good views even on a rainy day. Gorgeous water and flowers blooming in season. Nice Rube Goldberg museum for kids. Great walking and biking trails that are flat and go for miles along the water with dog parks along the way
We have attended grand point north here many times and its always impressive. The park is well maintained and being right on the lake is the setting for some of the most brilliant sunsets that I have ever seen.
Burlington Waterfront Park is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains are absolutely stunning, especially around sunset. The walking and biking paths are well maintained, and there are plenty of benches and open green spaces to sit and take in the view.
Getting married at Waterfront Park
Waterfront Park is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
