Missisquoi River Access
This 1/2-acre riverside park in the center of Richford gives paddlers access to the Missisquoi River. It primarily serves as a take-out for paddlers exploring six miles of the Wild and Scenic Missisquoi River upstream. For those on longer adventures, it’s a portage stop along the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, giving paddlers access to carry around the rapids. Vermont River Conservancy’s conservation easement here protects public access, and also protect riverside shrubs and trees that are important for healthy habitat.
