Paddling the Winooski

The river corridor penetrates the landscape of Vermont more effectively than any other transportation route. It brings the towns, farms and people of the Green Mountain State within the direct purview of the canoeist. This guide is designed to assist those who would like to take advantage of cleaner waters and improved public access to the Winooski waterway by exploring the river valley--in its haunting cultural and natural splendor--as it was experienced by the early wilderness explorers.

For the 2009 Winooski River Sojourn - Friends of the Winooski River created a paddling guide that contains both route maps of the river as well as six articles on the history of this great Vermont resource. You can download a pdf of the paddling guide here or purchase the guide at one of our events.
