About the Park
Right on the Lake Champlain waterfront in Burlington, Vermont, the Urban Reserve dog park pairs a fully fenced enclosure with lakeside surroundings. The fencing lets dogs go off-leash in a contained space, a reassuring setup so close to the water and city streets. Access is free as a public park. Hours are not listed in our records, so check posted signs when you arrive. The waterfront setting means open exposure, so bring water on warm days and expect wind and cold off the lake in the colder months, when Vermont winters bring real snow. It is an easy add-on to a walk along Burlington's lakefront path.
