Montpelier Dam Removal Tour

Menu

Learn about the Bailey (or Shaw’s) dam in Montpelier in this short 4-minute video, then embark on a tour of Montpelier’s riverfront, including all four dams Vermont River Conservancy is working to remove. These projects will mitigate flood impacts, create recreation opportunities, and make the river a better place for humans and wildlife alike.
