Parking for Calumet Channels: Burlington Dog Park

The main parking to access the Calumet Channels is at the Burlington Dog Park. Park as near the river as possible.

You can 'preview' the rightmost channel by walking a narrow footpath (between the electrical substation and the river) until you get to the former railroad bridge. Depending upon your interest, you can walk a bit downstream through shrubbery along this riverbank. Years back it was possible to cross the bridge to scout each of the channels, but the bridge has fallen into such disrepair that it has been gated off (at both ends). (Adroit individuals may still circumvent the fence to cross the river and get a look at the other channels, but that is at your own peril.)
