DO NOT SWIM! Vermont waters are currently unsafe.
Due to significant rain and flooding in most of Vermont on July 10th, with rains continuing on July 11th, currents are very strong. Also, most rivers are filled with debris, effluent, chemicals, fertilizers, etc. and are unsafe for swimming.

Celebrate Someone Who Loves Rivers
A gift "in memory of" or "in honor of" a friend or family member who loves rivers is a meaningful way to honor a life well-lived. You’ll have the option to share a personal message with them or their next of kin and let them know you’re thinking of them.
