The Burlington City Mooring Area is part of Burlington Harbor on Lake Champlain. The city operates two key marinas that serve as primary access points for paddlers. Perkins Pier Marina, located at the base of Maple Street, is explicitly noted as a unique urban stop on the Lake Champlain Paddler's Trail. It offers a free kayak and canoe launch, providing paddlers with easy access to the harbor and the amenities of downtown Burlington. The Community Boathouse Marina, located at coordinates 44°28'37.30" N, 73°13'21.42" W, also offers public access, including a fully public dock with seating. Both facilities are seasonal, operating from May 15 to October 15. Perkins Pier provides amenities such as restrooms, a playground, and ample parking. The harbor offers views of the city and immediate access to shops and restaurants within walking distance. The overall character is that of an active, urban harbor with significant boating activity, including transient dockage, moorings for boats up to 32 feet, and dedicated jetski docks, which paddlers must navigate around. The area is a hub for the local boating community, with a dockside restaurant at the Community Boathouse. As part of the larger Lake Champlain Paddler's Trail, it serves as a launch point for exploring the lake.
