Ethan Allen Park

Ethan Allen Park features acres of natural woodland and is home to the city’s highest point topped by a 40-foot-high stone tower: Ethan Allen Tower, which boasts amazing views of Burlington, Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains and the Adirondacks.

• Visit Local Motion’s Trail Finder for more information on the 4 miles of trails in Ethan Allen Park’s wooded urban refuge offering a historic lookout over Burlington and the Lake Champlain region.
• Access the park via North Avenue, Ethan Allen Boulevard, or the 127 Bike-Path bridge.
• Ethan Allen Park’s parking lot is located off of North Avenue.
• No parking is allowed between 9:30 p.m. to 6 a.m.
• Learn more about the Ethan Allen Park’s natural and cultural history.

The Ethan Allen Tower is opened by volunteers called the Tower Keypers. These neighborhood volunteers fill an important need and provide the City with the capacity to keep this beautiful, public amenity open to the community.

Ethan Allen Tower Opening Schedule:

• Mothers Day to Memorial Day – Weekends only
• Memorial Day to Indigenous Peoples Day – Daily
• Hours: the tower typically opens by 10 a.m. and closes just before sunset.

Periodically, something comes up and the tower cannot be opened. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. It is one of the limitations of a fully volunteer-led program.
