Winooski River Trip
Kayak Course Winooski River

     The Winooski River is a favorite of wildlife lovers. As it winds its way through the densely wooded landscape you may see otters, deer, or even an occasional moose as they come out of the woods to drink from the river. The Winooski is a bird watchers paradise. The Great Blue Herons and Kingfishers call this river home because of its incredible fishing. Anglers enjoy this fact as well.


     Our 4-mile trip takes roughly 2 hours to paddle. In the Fall the reflection of the foliage off the glassy water is something not to be missed! You'll see magnificent views of Hunger Mountain and the Worcester Mountain range as well. It is a very gentle section of river suitable for first-time paddlers. Ages 5 and up.

     Our 9-mile trip is a more advanced section of river with 2 sections of Class I/Class II whitewater rapids. It is a great trip for experienced or enthusiastic paddlers. This is a wooded section of river that passes some magnificent rock formations and through a breathtaking rock gorge. Great veiws of Camel's Hump Mountain are also seen throughout this trip. The trip takes approximately 4 hours. Ages 8 and up.
