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.

We’ve Conserved Over 100 Sites
Since 1995, thanks to the hard work of Vermont River Conservancy, our volunteers, staff, partners, and funders have had a role in protecting more than 100 special places. This includes many communities' favorite swimming holes and fishing access sites, places to launch a canoe or pitch a tent, and areas where wildlife and wetlands are reclaiming riverside habitat.
