The Sailing Center
Burlington's Sailing Center is a popular not-for-profit institution that encourages the responsible use and long term stewardship of Lake Champlain by
fostering educational and recreational opportunities for all members of our community.The Sailing Center is located on the southern tip of the Reserve. That area provides access to the water sheltered from motor boats and commercial vessels. The Sailing Center conducts science and environmental education at this location.

The City - Snow Storage
The City of Burlington uses a small area of the reserve for
snow storage. Seasonal encampments scatter the surrounding slopes and melting
snow reveals content after the annual Mardi Gras parade
The City - Utility
Several utility lines run north/south through the Reserve including water and sewer, telephone, and three-phase electricity. The city recently approved a bond measure to move utility lines underground along the waterfront south of the Reserve, but on the reserve itself, new taller poles were installed Spring, 2013. This will reduce outages because higher lines are less susceptible to damage from tree limbs. The project will also open up the viewshed for bikers and walkers in the area. Some views from the terrace above may be negatively impacted.
