Colchester: Lake Shore Town in the Burlington Metro
Colchester lies directly north of Burlington along the shore of Lake Champlain and on the Winooski River. With roughly 17,000 residents it ranks as the third-most populous municipality in Vermont. Despite the population it retains town status rather than city status, which is common for Vermont governance. The town is bisected by Interstate 89 and Route 7, with most residential growth clustered near those corridors.
Fort Ethan Allen, straddling the Colchester-Essex line, served as a U.S. Army cavalry and infantry post from 1894 through the Second World War. Many of the original brick barracks and officers' quarters still stand and have been converted into apartments, offices, and educational space. Saint Michael's College, founded in 1904 by the Society of Saint Edmund, occupies a campus adjacent to the former fort and enrolls about 1,600 undergraduates.
Malletts Bay on Lake Champlain forms the recreational center of the town. The bay is split into inner and outer sections by a causeway carrying a former rail bed that now serves as a bike path connecting Colchester to the Lake Champlain Islands. Niquette Bay State Park on the northern edge of town offers hiking trails along the lakeshore.
