--- Lake Champlain view near the start of the bike trail.

After "Chew Chew", we ride along the shores of Lake Champlain that is isolated from the Water Park. The lake is wide, deep blue with small ripples across the water. Across to the other shore are mountains after mountains of the Adirondack range in New York State.

Immediately thereafter, the ride travels through an old railroad yard with some very old railroad cars still on a side track. From there, we ride into North Park which on the left is a path that enters a lovely City RV Campground and on the right from the main bikeway is a path that leads to North Beach. This is a beautiful sandy beach with many sun and beach goers.

From here, the path transitions through neighborhood backyard boundaries and it is so interesting to see so many backyards--vegetable gardens, flower gardens, decks, patios, play areas for children--the interests of its owners.
