Thayer Beach Parking

Great area for a bike ride... The rails to trails bike paths are the best! Lots of beautiful sites... great day

Nice place to swim, a small walk down to the beach area.

Favorite Beach and All Time Go-To!
Clean beach with respectful crowd
Nice little walk to the water

Nice sandy public beach. Not crowded. Pleasant walk through the woods to access it. Lots of boats hanging out. Very flat bottom and shallow water. You can walk 100 meters out and still have water only up to you waist.

Love Thayer Beach ! It's so quaint and such a nice walk to get there ! Be prepared for mosquito's in the walk to the beach so bring bug spray here and some waters and your bathing suits and you'll be just fine!!! They have a couple of portable potties for public use. That's helpful. There are also trails you can hike here. Such a beautiful little spot found tucked away in the Colchester cove. A must see !!!

I agree with some others about this hidden gem. Its hard to find areas on the water that aren't private so i wouldn't be complaining. We pay a fortune for our lake front property and here you can enjoy it for free. Respect nature and keep it clean so we can continue to enjoy this place.

Easy parking long walk but nice beach

Great for dog walking and getting out in nature!

Plenty open space. Never crowded. Shallow water goes a long way into the lake. Morning shade. Clean beach. Family oriented.

Camping in the area. Stopped by a nearby store and asked if their was a place to sit by the water. A young man pointed us to this spot. A little walk down a path and it opens up to a beach. VERY nice spot to watch the sunset.

I absolutely love this parking lot. Sometimes, I'll park here several times, just for the experience. "Chain parking" as my friends call it! Seriously though, if you're in the mood for a great parking lot, this is the spot.

Peaceful wooded walk from nice parking area. Beautiful beach, particularly this time of year. Views to the North of Mallets bay

Nice sandy beach. Just a short walk from the parking area

A beautiful place and the fact that my family donated it makes me personally very proud!

Great swimming. Sandy, shallow, perfect for kids and adults.

Nice place for kids and family and dogs to play ball

Beautiful area, great trails, easy walk to walk.

Cleanest beach in Chittenden county.

Wonderful

Hidden town treasure!!! Found this by mistake and went back several times while the nice weather lasted!!!!
