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.

Campsite Construction was a Success!
Thank you to the 16 volunteers who helped us build a campsite on the Connecticut River! With the help of these hard workers, we installed a privy, picnic table, sign-in box, and signage, and also picked up trash and cleared some weeds.This island was recently conserved by the Vermont River Conservancy and the Ammonoosuc Conservation Trust (read more about it here: https://vtriverstaging.wpengine.com/…/johnson-farm-island). This project was made possible by a grant from TransCanada Hydro Northeast and other business and individual contributions to the Connecticut River Paddlers’ Trail Stewardship Fund.
Many thanks again to our volunteers, pictured here:
