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.

Face the River Workshop, Brattleboro
We’ll share and compare our personal experiences of rivers and floods. We’ll take a field trip to a nearby brook and learn the fundamentals of river science. Putting it all together, we’ll propose river access and conservation strategies that build on the strengths, and meet the needs, of southern Vermonters of all ages.
