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’re thrilled to be one of 24 grant recipients! Thanks to this, Vermont will benefit from:
- More stewards at river access sites.
- Coordination between the multiple local, state, federal, and nonprofit groups that manage river access sites.
- Site improvements across east-central Vermont thanks to our friends at White River Partnership.
Why? Better river access statewide — for you, the 550,000 people who visit Vermont rivers each year, and the hundreds of thousands of Vermonters who love our rivers.
